What to Plant this Month, 



IX THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. 



In this month sow Bush, Pole and Lima Beans, Sweet. 

 Corn, Cucumbers, Squash, Melons and Okra, Beets,. 

 Carrots, Swiss Chard, Radishes, Lettuce, Mustard, En- 

 dive, Roquette, Cress, Parsley, Chervil and Celery for 

 cutting. 



Sow Tomatoes, Eggplants and Peppers. 



It is rather late to sow Cabbage seed now, butif sown, 

 the early varieties may be successfully used. Kohlrabi 

 can still be sown, but it is best to sow thinly in drills a 

 foot apart, and thin out to four inches in the rows- 

 instead of transplanting. Towards the end of this month 

 a sowing of the late Italian Cauliflower can be made, as 

 it takes from eight to nine months to mature, and, there- 

 fore, should be sown early. 



It is always best to make several sowings, so that in 

 case one should fail, the other may be used. 



The Italian Cauliflower is hardier than the French and 

 German varieties. A good plan is to sow the seed in. 

 boxes elevated two or three feet above the ground, as it 

 will keep the Cabbage fly off. The plants should be over- 

 looked daily, and all green Cabbage-worms and other 

 vermin removed. 



IN THE FIELD. 



Plant Sweet Potato slips for early crop, dig Irish Pota- 

 toes planted early, and after well preparing the ground,, 

 plant Corn, Beans, Squash, etc., in it. 



Sow Cashaw and field Pumpkins. 



German Millet should be sown this month. The ground 

 ought to be well plowed and harrewed. Three pecks of 

 seed is the quantity to be sown per acre. After sowing,, 

 roil the ground well and the seed will require no other 

 covering. If no roller is handy, some brush tied together 

 ought to be passed over the ground sown, and this will 

 effectively cover the seed. For hay it should be cut when, 

 in flower. 



Every planter should give this forage plant a trial. 



IN THE ORCHARD. 



Little is to be done during this month, except, perhaps, 

 if the weather Is favorable, budding Orange trees on 

 Trifoliata Stools; keep young trees clean of weeds, and 

 during a dry spell water those which were lately trans- 

 planted. 



IN THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



Sow Balsam, Zinnia, Portulacca, Gomphrena, Torenias. 

 and Amaranthus, Browallia, Celosla, Vlnca Rosea.. 

 Plant Coleus and other foliage plants, Dahlias and Chry- 

 santhemums, Sunflower, Gladiolus, and Tuberose bulbs* 



Chicken Founts from 1-4 Gallon to 2 Gallons.
