144 Monthly Horticultural Calendar. 
FRUIT DEPARTMENT. 
Peach and NeclUTine Trees, will require but little doing at them this month, if attended to in 
the last; any loose or forcrii^ht branches, however, that project from the wall, must be 
taken off, or laid in, as found necessary, that the fruit be not loo much shaded from the 
sun, or the flavour and colour will he in a great measure destroyed. 
Morella Cherries must be netted to preserve them from birds. 
Figs will now be ripe ; allow no irre^'ular slioots to remain, but treat them as recommended 
last month. 
New Strawberry Beds may still be made, where sufficient were not planted last month ; 
choose moist or cloudy weather for the purpose. 
Wall avd Espalier Trees of every description, must be kept neat and free from superiluoiis 
wood ; as well ripened fruit never need be expected, where the trees are kept in a slovenly 
state. 
Buds put in last month and July, will require examining, aod the bandages loosening when 
necessary. 
Diseases and Insects Tlie mildew is rather prevalent about us, and in some cases the red 
spider, (acarus) may be numerous. As the fruit is now ffenerally becoming ripe, it would 
not be proper to was'i them with sulphur and water, as directed last month, until the 
fruit is gathered, but a little sulphur may be dusted on the leaves, when it is found indis. 
pensible. Earwigs and Wood I ice as last month. Wasps and larye blue Flies are added 
to the number of depredators this mouth. They may be destroyed by hanging bottles on 
different parts of the wall, half filled with vinegar and water, or beer, mixed with honey 
or sugar. The Thrips, too, will probably attack the Melon or Cucumber plants, in the 
frames ; when this is discovered, fumigate them with tobacco, in the same manner as for 
Apples. 
Fruit-trees. Apricots, Plums, Peaches, and most other fruits, ripen very early this season; on 
this account, prepare ground, without any delay, for planting fruit-trees, by the latter 
end of this month, or the beginning of October, which if the wood be pretty ripe, as it may 
be, is the best time in the whole year to plant most trees, for they establish themselves be- 
fore the severe weather takes place. By attending to tiiis, not only is the life of the tree 
more likely to be preserved, but nearly a year is gained in its growth. 
FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 
Carnation Layers, potted out last month, must remain in the open air, and receive gentle wa- 
terings, if required, on dry days. 
^luricnlu Seeds, as also those of Tulip, Ranunculus, Anemone, &c., may now be sown in boxes 
of fine light mould, 
.fffrfs should now be prepared for Tulips, (see page 104 of our Register); also for Hyacinths, 
Anemones, and Narcissus, which do best in a sandy soil, mixed with vegetable mould and 
very rotten dung. \ 
Mignonelle may still be sown to stand through the winter, m frames; but it is better never to 
be later than August. 
Eromplon u nd Ten Week Stocks, that were sown last month, will require pricking out in pots 
to be protected in the frames; and if suflieii'ut were not sown, it will be necessary to get 
them in as early in the month as possible. 
Single Camellias shomd now be budded; take off the bud from any choice sort required, with 
a small portion of the woud attached to the eye, in. tead of stripping it quite naked, the 
usual method, and insert them as you would tliose of a rose. 
£rica Cuttings, Diosmas, and many other delicate greenhouse plants, may still be put in, 
(see Calendar for August.) 
Fink Pipings, put in la.st month, shouUl if properly struck, be transplanted in beds, to be 
removed early in the S|iri,.g, into the flower-borcfers. 
fiosp-trees. This is the best season for striking cuttings of all the varieties of China Roses, 
plant them on a shady h.irder, in a mixture of peat or vegetable mould, or pure sand, and 
cover them down tight with a hand-glass. 
Herbaceous plants, must still be propagated by parting the roots. 
VEGETABLE DEPARTMENT. 
Celery must be earthed up, as it advances in growth. 
Spinach may still be sown in the beginning of the month, but it is far better never to be later 
than the middle of August. 
Lettuce Plants, should be planted out for a succession, and seed sown about 3 time.s before the 
20th, to preserve in frani -s and warm borders througlioui I lie winter. 
Cabbtye Plants, of the Battersea and Early YorK sorts, should be planted early in the month, 
on good ground, about six inches apart \\\ the rows, and one foot from row to row, to use 
as Coleworts from November, also those frlim seeds sown last month, will many of them 
be ready to prick out in beds, to plant early in the spring. 
Carrot Seed may yet be sown, for young ones in t'le spring. 
Cauliflower Plants, from seed sown last month, will some of them be fit to prick out. Choose 
some rich light ground for the piirpo.se, and plant them about four inches apart. 
Endive may be planted out twoor three times in the month. 
Mushroom.Beds should now be generally made; be careful in spawning, the beds are not too hot; 
it must be remembered, spawn will beai- no greater heat than from .35 to 611 degrees Fah- 
renheit. 
Radishes for a late crop, may he sown about the beginning and middle of tlie month. 
Onions must be taken up in fine weather, and spread on a floor or flue, ui a:; airy situation, in 
order to dry them. 
AoTinaniiij or Curled Cms, should i;ow be .sown, if not done before.
