AUGUST. 
WORK TO BE DONE IN THE KITCHEN-GARDEN. 
Savoys, Coleworts, and Borecole. 
IN the first week of this month, finish planting your savoys; 
they will not, at this season, require a greater distance than two 
feet every way. This plantation will be tolerably well cabbaged in 
November, and may, with a little care, be preserved in fine condition 
all winter. 
The early York, Battersea and sugar-loaf plants, arising from 
seed sown last month, should now be planted out for autumn cole- 
worts, they will yet form nice heads; and some more, of the same 
kinds, should be sown in the first week of this month, from which 
you will have delicious hearts late in October, &c. In the southern 
states, where the plants can stand out all winter, this will be a very 
useful practice. Plant also, your last crop of borecole. 
Sjrinach. 
Now prepare some ground, and sow a good crop of spinach; that 
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 Spinach, 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 Septem- 
ber; 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, wh'iGh 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 sufficient sup- 
ply of short-top and salmon radishes; also, some of the white Na- 
ples and turnep-rooted kinds: these will be fit for the table in Sep- 
tember. 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.
