For the Southern States. 93 | 
AUGUST. 
This is a very active month for gardening in the South. Plant 
Bush Beans, Extra Early and Washington Peas. Sow late Cabbages 
and Drumhead Savoy, also Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts and Kale. The 
Early Italian Giant Cauliflower may still be sown; but now is the 
proper time to sow the Half Early Paris, Asiatic and other early varie- 
ties. 
Sow Parsley, Roquette, Chervil, Lettuce, Endive and Sorrel; 
but, in case of dry weather, these seeds will have to be watered fre- 
quently. 
Continue to sow Yellow Turnip Radishes, and commence to sow red 
varieties, such as Scarlet Turnip, Half Long French and Long Scarlet. 
Towards the end of the month the Black Spanish Radish can be 
sown; also, Swiss Chard. 
Sow Mustard and Cress; the former will generally do well. All 
kinds of Turnips and Ruta Bagas should be sown; also, Kohlrabi. 
The seed of all kinds of Beets should be put in the ground. 
Towards the end of the month Carrots can be sown; but the sowing 
of all vegetables at this time of the year depends much upon the sea- 
son. If we should have hot and dry weather, itis useless to do much, 
as seed cannot come up without being watered. White Solid Celery 
should be sown for a succession, and the Dwarf kinds for spring use. 
Shallots can be set out during this month; also, Onion Sets, especi- 
ally if they are raised from Creole seed. The early part of the month 
is the proper time to plant Red and White Kidney Beans, for shelling’ 
and drying for winter use. 
Early Rose and other varieties of Potatoes should be planted early 
this month for a winter crop, and the latest of Tomato plants should 
be set out, if not done last month. If Celery plants are set out during 
this month, they require to be shaded. 
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 be- 
fore frost comes. Plant Extra Early and early varieties of Peas. Sow 
Radishes of all kinds, Carrots, Beets, Parsnip, Salsify, Roquette, Cher- | 
vil, Parsley, Sorrel, Cress, Lettuce, Endive, Leek, Turnips, Kohlrabi, | 
Broccoli, Early Cauliflower, Kale, Celery, Corn Salad and Mustard. | 
After the 15th of this month, Creole Onion seed can be sown. This 
is an important crop, and should not be neglected. If it is very dry, 
cover the bed, after the seed has been sown, with green moss; it will 
keep the ground moist, and the seed will come up more regularly: 
The moss has to be taken off as the young plants make their appear- 
ance. ° 
Celery plants may be set out in ditches prepared for that purpose. 
Cauliflower and Cabbage plants can be transplanted if the weather is 
favorable.
