What to Plant this Month. 



IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN. 



Mostly all the seeds recommended for last month can 

 be sown this month, but some more should be added to 

 them. 



In the early part plant Bush Beans, as they will bear 

 before frost sets in. Also plant early varieties of Peas, 

 such as Extra Early, Early Alaska, Washington. All 

 kinds of Radishes, Carrots, Beets, Parsnips, Salsify, 

 Roquette, Chervil, Parsley, Sorrel, Cress, Lettuce, En- 

 dive, Leeks, Turnips, Kohlrabi, Broccoli, Early Cauli- 

 flower, Kale, Celery, Corn Salad and Mustard can be 

 sown during this month. 



Begin sowing Creole Onion seed after the 15th of this 

 month. As this is one of the most important crops, it 

 should not be neglected. Our planters and truck farmers 

 in the neighborhood of the city make their first sowing 

 by the 15th of this month. If the weather is hot and 

 dry, it is necessary to cover the seed-beds with moss, 

 after the seed has been sown; it will keep it moist and 

 insure its coming up . As soon as the young plants make 

 their appearance, the moss must be taken off. For main 

 crop the end of this month is the proper time. 



Transplant Celery plants in ditches made for that pur- 

 pose, and if the weather is favorable, set out Cabbage 

 and Cauliflower plants. 



If the weather is not too hot and dry, Spinach may be 

 sown, but has to be well watered, otherwise it is impos- 

 sible to get a stand. 



Some Cabbage seed may be sown, but Cabbage 

 sown in this month will generally not do as well as seed 

 sown during the provious month. 



Set out Shallots, divide and transplant Sorrel; sow 

 Turnip-rooted Celery. 



IN THE FIELD. 



Continue to plant Potatoes for an early winter crop, 

 Use only small ones left over from a late spring crop, 

 but do not cut them as they are apt to rot. Plow under 

 the Cow Peas and prepare land to set out Cabbage and 

 Cauliflower plants. 



IN THE ORCHARD. 



continue to bud if the weather is not too dry and the 

 stools remain in sap. 



IN THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



During this month Flower seeds, such as Pansy, Daisy 

 Sweet Alyssum, Candytuft, Stocks, Phlox, Chinese, 

 Japan, Marguerite and Carnation Pinks, Aster, etc., can 

 be sown. Plant Hyacinth bulbs for early blooming at the 

 end of the month. 



To grow plants successfully always remember the Japanese plant food.
