90 RICHARD FROTSCHER’S ALMANAC AND GARDEN MANUAL 
SEPTEMBER. 
Most of the seeds recommended for 
last month can be sown this month, and 
some more added. 
In the early part, Bush Beans can be 
planted, as they will bear before frost 
comes. Plant Extra Early and early 
varieties of Peas. Sow Radishes of all 
kinds, Carrots, Beets, Parsnip, Salsify, 
Roquette, Chervil, Parsley, Sorrel, 
Cress, Lettuce, Endive, Leek, Turnips, 
Kohlrabi, Broccoli, Early Caulifiower. 
Kale, Celery, Corn Salad and Mustard. 
After the 15th of this month, Creole 
Onion seed can be sown. Thisisanim- 
portant crop, and should not be neglect- 
ed. If it is very dry, cover the bed, af- 
ter the seed has been sown, with green 
moss: 
it will keep the ground moist, 
and the seed will come up more regu- 
larly. The moss has to be taken off as 
the young plants make their appear- 
ance. 
Celery plants may be set out in dit- 
ches prepared for that purpose. Cauli- 
fiower and Cabbage plants can be trans- 
planted if the weather is favorable. 
If the weather is not too hot and dry, 
Spinach should be sown: but it is use- 
less to do so if the weather is not suit- 
able. 
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 
suckers or 
plants 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, Mus- 
tard, Swiss Chard, Carrots, Beets, Sal- 
sify, Leek, Corn Salad, Parsley, Ro- 
quette, 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 generally sown too 
late; this is the proper month to sow 
theseed. The ground should be mellow 
should be dressed, 
sprouts taken off, and new 
the | 
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, Or- 
chard Grass, Red and White Clover, and 
Alfalfa Clover. Strawberry plants 
should be transplanted: they cannot be 
left in the same spot for three or four 
years, as is done North. The Wilson’s 
Albany, and Sucker State, are the fay- 
orite 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, Mustard, Roquette, 
Parsley, Chervil, Carrots, Salsify, Pars- 
nips, Cress and Endive, also Turnips 
and Cabbage. Superior Flat Duteh 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 aresmall, and during this-
