General Directions Continue to sow and 
plant successional autumn and winter crops. 
Attend to hoeing and weeding. Prick out 
and thin out seedlings : gather ripening seeds 
and herbs. Clear the ground as the crops are 
used up. Water where required, especially 
crops that are now planting. 
Asparagus. — Follow up the operation of 
watering, if the weather is dry, and discon- 
tinue the cutting from the established beds ; 
make them perfectly clean by hand-weeding. 
Beans. — If the early crops were broken 
over last month, another sowing now would 
be superfluous. 
Borage. — A sowing of this may be made 
in any common soil and place ; they do not 
require much care. 
Borecole. — Plant these out on the potato 
ground, or where any spare place can be [ 
obtained, for use in spring. 
Brocoli. — Make full plantings at the be- 
ginning and end of the month ; they will 
follow other crops as the latter are cleared 
off. 
Cabbage. — Plant late for coleworts ; and 
prick out and sow a few more early, to plant 
in autumn for winter and spring use. 
Carrots. — A few may be sown on good 
ground, if a supply of j oung ones is wanted ; 
thin out and hoe the advancing crops. 
Cauliflowers. — Plant a full crop at the end 
of the month, and prepare or reserve ground 
for sowing on next month. 
Celeriac. — Plant out early in a plain bed, 
in rows fifteen inches apart, and ten inches 
between. 
Celery. — A main planting may be made 
early this month ; and prepare to make another 
at the end. 
Chervil. — Unless a sufficient number of 
self-sown plants have sprung up, it will be 
well to scatter a few seeds in any spare 
corner. 
Coriander. — Sow on a bed of good fresh 
earth, in an open situation. 
Cress. — Make a considerable sowing of the 
common kind for succession ; and sow also, at 
the end of the month, the Normandy, for 
autumn use. 
Endive. — For a winter and spring crop, 
sow at the end of the month : plant out a few, 
watering them well. 
Garlic. — Lift the bulbs when the leaves 
turn yellow, dry them carefully, and put away 
the sound ones for winter use. 
Herbs of all sorts should be gathered and 
dried when about to bloom ; they may be 
propagated now, as required.
