July.] THE KITCHEN GAUDEN, 46], 
sown in the first week of the month will be fit for use in Septem- 
ber, and what you sow in the second, will be in fine condition in 
October. 
In the last week of the month, you should sow a principal crop 
of the prickly seeded spinage for early spring use; this ought to be 
sown on dry gravelly ground, for on such it will stand the winter 
much better than on any other, A second sowing will, however, 
be necessary for the same purpose in the first week of September, 
as it will always be proper to have a double chance. With either 
or both of these sowings, you may throw in a thin scattering of 
brown Dutch or cabbage lettuce, and if the winter is any way mild, 
you will have good early plants in spring, which you are then to 
take up and transplant into beds for heading. 
Sowing Radishes. 
In the early part of this month you should sow a sufiicient sup- 
ply of short-top and salmon radishes; also, some of the white Na- 
ples and turnip-rooted kinds: these will be fit for the table in 
September. About the middle of the month, you ought to sow a 
second crop to come into use in October. 
A full crop of the black and white Spanish or winter radishes, 
may be sown at either, or both of the above periods, for fall and 
winter use. 
Asparagus. 
The plantations of asparagus should now be kept perfectly clear 
from weeds, but particularly those which were planted last spring, 
and likewise the seedling beds, but this must be done by a very 
careful hand weeding. 
Turnips. 
The first week in this month is a very principal time for sowing 
your general crop of turnips for autumn and winter use, whether 
in the field or garden; you may continue in the middle states to 
sow as opportunity offers, or as the season proves favourable till 
the middle of the month, after which, it will be too late to expect 
any tolerable produce. In the eastern states, the last sowing ought 
to be performed in the first week of this month, and the earlier in 
that the better. If any be sown after the above periods, it ought 
to be of the early Dutch kind; this will arrive at maturity at an 
earlier period than any other sort. In the southern states, turnips 
may be sown somewhat later. For general directions see page 
433, &c. 
Celery. 
Plant now a full crop of late celery; let this be done as early in 
the month as possible, and as directed in pages 407, and 432.
