VEGETABLE GARDEN.—During this 
month gardeners in the South are very 
busy with sowing and planting. Bush 
Beans, White, Black-Eyed and Dwarf Mar- 
rowfat, Alaska, Blue Beauty, Morning Star 
and Extra Marly and Washington Peas can 
be planted; also all varieties of Cabbage 
and Cauliflower, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts 
and Kale, Parsley, Roquette, Chervil, Let- 
tuce, Endive and Sorrel, but if the weather 
should be very dry, the seeds have to be 
frequently watered. It is best to cover 
Parsley seed with moss or brush until it 
begins to come up. All varieties of Radish 
should be sown. 
Sow Swiss Chard, Mustard and Cress, all 
varieties of Turnip and Ruta Baga, and 
also Vienna Kohlrabi. 
Carrots should be sown in the latter part; 
if the weather is favorable; but if hot and 
dry it is useless to do much, as seeds can- 
not come up well without being watered. 
All varieties of Celery should be sown 
now. 
If not too hot and dry, Beets of all 
kinds may be planted; but it is better to 
wait until the following month. 
Set out Shallots, Onion Sets, Red and 
White Kidney Beans for shelling should be 
planted at the early part of this month. 
Sow Tomatoes, Eggplants and Sweet 
Peppers for late crop. 
If Celery plants are set out during this 
month they require to be shaded. 
FIELD.—Peerless and other varieties of 
Potatoes saved from the _ spring’ crop, 
should be planted early this month for a 
winter crop; the smaller Potatoes are 
selected for that purpose and planted 
whole. Mexican June Corn can be planted 
in the early part of the month. Sow Cow 
and Field Peas, Velvet Beans, Millet and 
Sorghum. 
ORCHARD.—Nothing can be done with 
any degree of success during this month. 
FLOWER GARDEN. — Sow Balsams 
(Lady Slippers), Zinnia, Cockscomb, Gom- 
phrena, etc., to bloom for November 1. 
Plant Spring annuals as described in this 
catalogue.

ruins thousands of gardens every 
year. Order now and you will have 
them sure.
