JEWISH CALENDAR. 



August 11— Ellul (year 5664 ) 



What to Plant this Month, 



IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. 



During this month gardeners in the South are very 

 busy with sowing and planting. Bush Beans, Extra 

 Early and Washington Peas can be planted; also continue 

 to sow Late Cabbages, Drumhead, Savoy, Broccoli,. 

 Brussels Sprouts and Kale. Sow Early Italian Cauli- 

 flower at the early part of this month. This is the proper 

 time to sow the Half Early Paris and other varieties. 



Sow Parsley, Roquette, Chervil, Lettuce, Endive and: 

 Sorrel; but if the weather should be very dry, these seeds- 

 have to be frequently watered. It is best to cover Parsley 

 seed with moss or brush, until it begins to come op. 



Yellow Turnip and White Strasburg Radish may be 

 sown during this month, and towards the end commence 

 to sow the red varieties, such as Scarlet Turnip, Half 

 Long French and Long Scarlet, also Black Spanish. 



Sow Swiss Chard, Mustard and Cress, all varieties of 

 Turnip and Ruta Baga, and also Vienna Kohlrabi. 



If not too hot and dry, Beets of all kinds may be put. 

 in ground; but it is better to wait until the following 

 month. 



Carrots may be sown in the latter part, if the weather 

 is favorable; but if hot and dry, it is useless to do much,, 

 as seeds cannot come up well without being watered. 



White Solid, Dwarf Large Ribbed and Perfection Hart- 

 well Celery should be sown now. 



Set out Shallots. Red and White Kidney Beans for 

 shelling should be planted atthe early part of this month. 



Set out Tomato plants for late crop, if not done so last 

 month. 



If Celery plants are set out during this month they, 

 require to be shaded. 



IN THE FIELD. 



Early Rose and other varieties of Potatoes saved' from* 

 the spring crop, should be planted early this month for a. 

 winter crop; the smallest Potatoes are selected for that; 

 purpose and planted whole. 



IN THE ORCHARD. 

 If the weather is favorable Orange trees may be trans- 

 planted during this month, and will generally do better 

 than those transplanted in February. 



IN THE FLOWER GARDEN. 

 Sow Balsam, Zinnia, Cockscomb, Gomphrena, etc., to 

 bloom for November 1st. 



We took first prize for Araucarias at last Flower Show.
