OCTOBER. 



LETTUCES. 



The beginning of this month is a good time to plant 

 out lettuces, on warm sheltered situations. The best 

 kind for this season is the hardy green cabbage let- 

 tuce. Plant in rows six or eight inches apart, and 

 the same distance in the row. As the weather sets ia 

 severe, cover lightly with salt hay, or which is better^ 

 cedar limbs or tops of young bushes. To have salad 

 in winter and early in spring, you must plant some in 

 beds of rich earth, to be eifectually protected from frost 

 by frames and glass sashes, which, in all severe wea- 

 ther, must be well covered with mats or straw, to 

 prevent the frost from penetrating through the glass ; 

 and the frame must be well lined all around with horse 

 dung. In all moderate weather, the glasses must be 

 uncovered every day, and on mild days the glasses 

 shoved off, and moderate waterings given once a week 

 or fortnight. 



CAULIFLOWERS. 



Late in this month plant cauliflowers in beds of 

 rich light earth, sloping to the sun, and »of such size 

 as you can cover with frames, or hoops and mats. 



CABBAGES. 



Plants remaining in seed beds may be planted three 

 or four inches apart, in beds where they caabe cover- 

 ed during winter. 



HORSE-RADISH.
