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 reguarly.. 
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. 
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 ence and 
Gr ansplant during this sory. 
‘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 intothe 
ground as soon as possible, so the plants gét to be some size before the 
cold weather comes. 
Towards the end of the month, Black Eye Marrowfat Peas can be 
planted; also “ngzlish or Windsor Beans. 
Sow Tabhaze, Cauli iower, Broccoli. Brussels Sprouts. Kale. Spi- 
nach, Mustard, Swiss Chard, Carrots Reets, Salsify, Leek, Corn Salad, 
Parsley, Roquette, Chervil, Kohlrabi. Radish, Lettuce, Endive *and 
Parsnip. Shallots from the frst planting ean be divided and set out 
again. Salsify does very finely here, but is generally sowntoo late; 
this is the proper month to sow the seed. The ground should be 
mellow and have been manured last spring. Itshould 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 favor- 
able, by the end of this month some may be earthed up. 
Sow Rye, Barley and Red Oats, Orchard Grass, Red and White Clo- 
ver, 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 Longworth’s Prolific are the favor- 
ite varieties for the market.
