VEGETABLE GARDEN.— Mostly all 
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 all early varieties of Peas. All 
kinds of Radishes, Carrots, Beets, Par- 
snips, Salsify, Roquette, Chervil, Parsley, 
Sorrel, Cress, Lettuce, Endive, Leeks 
Turnips, Kohlrabi, Broccoli, Cauliflower 
Kale, Celery, Corn Salad and Mustard can 
be sown during this month. 
Begin sowing Onion seed of all varieties 
after the 15th of this month. As this is 
one of the most important crops, it should 
not be neglected. 
Transplant Celery plants in ditches 
made for that purpose, and if the weather 
is favorable, set out Lettuce, Beet, Cab- 
bage 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 impossible to get 
a stand. 
Some Cabbage seed can be sown, but 
Cabbage sown in this month will generally 
not do as well as seed sown during the 
previous month. 
Set out, divide and transplant Shallots, 
set out Onion sets and Chive plants, sow 
Sorrel and Turnip-rooted Celery. 
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. 
Sow Seed Rye, Barley, Wheat, Speltz, 
Vetches, Buckwheat, all varieties of 
Clovers, Dwarf Essex Rape, Kentucky 
Blue, Red Top, Rescue, Johnson, Tall 
Meadow Oat, Meadow Fescue, Guinea and 
Orchard Grasses, Timothy, all varieties of 
Millet, Giant Beggar Weed and Carpet 
Grass. 
ORCHARD.—Continue to bud if the 
weather is not too dry and the _ stools 
remain in sap. 
FLOWER GARDEN.—During this month 
flower seeds, such as Pansy, Daisy, Sweet 
Alyssum, Candytuft, Stocks, Flowering 
Sweet Peas, Phlox, Chinese, Japan, Mar- 
guerite and Carnation Pinks, Asters, etc., 
can be sown. Plant Hyacinth bulbs for 
early blooming at the end of the month. 
Sow on your lawn English Rye Grass for 
winter lawn.
