For the Southern States. 



S5 



will come up more regularly. The moss has to be takeu off as 

 the young' plants make their appearance. 



Celery plants may be set out in ditches i)repared for that i)ur- 

 pose. Oauliiiower and Cabbage plants can be transplanted if the 

 weather is favorable. 



If the weather is not too hot and dry, Spinach should be sown ; 

 but it is useless to do so if the weather is not suitable. 



Cabbage can be sown, but it is much better to sow in August 

 and transplant during this month. 



Set out Shallots. Sorrel should be divided and replanted. 



Sow Turnip rooted Celery. 



OCTOBER. 



Artichokes should be dressed, the suckers or sprouts taken off, 

 and new plantings made. 



Onion seed can still be sown ; but it is better to get the seed 

 into the ground as soon as possible, so the plants get to be some 

 size before the cold weather comes. 



Towards the end of the month, Black Eye Marrowfat Peas can 

 be planted ; also, English or Windsor Beans. 



Sow Cabbage, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Kale, 

 Spinach, Mustard, Swiss Chard, Carrots, Beets, Salsify, Leek, 

 Corn Salad, Parsley, Eoquette, Chervil, Kohlrabi, Radish, Let- 

 tuce, Endive and Parsnip. Shallots from the first planting can 

 be divided, and set out again. Salsify does very finely here, but 

 is geuerally sown too late ; this is the proper month to sow the 

 seed. The ground should be mellow and have been manured last 

 spring. It should be spaded up very deeply,* as the size and 

 smoothness of the roots depend upon the preparation of the 

 soil- 

 Water the Celery with soap-suds, and if the season has been 

 favorable, by the end of this month some may be earthed up. 



Sow Rye, Barley and Red Oats, Orchard Grass, Red and White 

 Clover, and Alfalfa Clover. Strawberry plants should be trans- 

 planted; they can not be left in the same spot for three or four 

 years, as is done ivTorth. The Wilson's Albany and Longworth's 

 Prolific are the favorite varieties for the market. 



The Wilson's Albany do not make many runners here, but they 

 form a stool something like the plants of violets, and these stools 

 have to be taken up and divided. 



NOVEMBER. 



Continue to sow Spinach, Corn Salad, Radish, Lettuce, Mus- 

 tard, Roquette, Parsley, Chervil, Carrots, Salsify, Parsnip, Cress 

 and Endive, also Turnips and Cabbage. Superior Flat Dutch 

 and Improved Drumhead, sown in this month, make fine cabbage 

 in the spring. 



Artichoke should be dressed, if not already done last month. 



Sow Black Eye and other late varieties of Peas. Frost does 

 not hurt them as long as they are small, and during this time of 

 the year, they will grow but very slowly. English beans can be 

 planted; frost does not hurt them, and if not planted soon, they 

 will not bear much.
