GARDENING. 
collect herbs for distilling while early in 
flower; plant sage, &c. gather physical, and 
pot-herbs for drying; sow peas and beans 
for a late crop ; water freely and clear your 
ground. 
In the Fruit-garden. Look to your wall 
trees, nail up your fig-trees, look again to 
your vines in particular, destroy wasps and 
insects, not forgetting snails. Bud your 
stone-fruit-trees, and preserve seeds. 
In the Flower-garden. Bring out your cu- 
rious annuals that were as yet in frames, 
&c. clear them well, and wash well with a 
light pot pierced very small ; transplant an- 
nuals into the borders, &c. ; select carnations 
which must be carefully preserved, lay them, 
as also double sweet-williams, &c. transplant 
former layers, propagate pinks by pipings ; 
set out perennial plants, clean your auri- 
culas, transplant their seedlings ; take up 
remaining bulbs, propagate the double 
scarlet lychnis, &c. by cuttings; mow lawns 
and walks, cut edgings, and clip hedges ; 
destroy weeds, and cut away decayed 
flower-stems. 
In the Nursery , Bud your stone-fruit-trees ; 
grafted trees are to be examined; transplant 
seedling firs ; inoculate and lay curious 
shrubs ; water freely, and destroy /weeds. 
In the Green-house. Water your bearing 
trees in particular ; give them new soil ; 
propagate exotics by cuttings, &c. plant 
cuttings of succulents; bud your oranges 
and lemons. 
In the Hot-house. Admit air in calm clear 
weather ; propagate pines as before shewn; 
water moderately, and pay attention to 
your exotics. 
AUGUST. 
Kitchen-garden. Sow a full crop of win- 
ter spinach, also cabbages, brocoli, savoys, 
winter onions, carrots for spring use, ra- 
dishes, some cauliflowers for next summer ; 
transplant celery, and earth-up former 
trenchings ; sow small salading, lettuce, 
fennels, angelica, carduus, endive, cole- 
worts, &c.; clean your beds of asparagus; 
earth-up cardoons ; look to your onions, 
garlic, and shallots ; propagate sweet-herbs ; 
gather seeds ; and see to your melons and 
cucumbers, which will now be in bearing. 
You may likewise sow turnips for a late 
crop : hoe your former crops well in dry 
weather. 
In the Fruit-garden. Keep your wall-fruit 
very clean, and guard against birds and 
vermin ; let your figs have a due exposure 
to the sun ; look to your budded trees : you 
may still bud early in this month. 
In the Flower-garden. Propagate fibrous- 
rooted plants ; water generally ; propagate 
saxifrage in particular ; sow auricula seeds, 
and shift those plants into fresh earth, pick 
out their seedlings ; remove carnation layers 
and pink pipings ; lay carnations ; sow seeds 
of bulbs, also of the anemone, cyclamen, 
and ranunpulus; remove late flowering 
bulbs; transplant perennials; clip hedges; 
cut edgings ; mow lawns ; trim flower- 
plants, and gather their seeds ; plant autum- 
nal bulbs ; and destroy weeds very care- 
fully. 
In the Nursery. Water freely; tiansplant 
seedlings ; trim evergreens ; bud in the early 
days; and prepare ground for transplant- 
ing. 
In the Green-house. Shift succulent plants 
into larger vessels; propagate aloes by off- 
sets from the old plants ; inoculate orange 
trees ; and water so as to keep the soil front 
caking. 
In the Hot-house. Water freely every 
other day; shift the succession of pine-ap- 
ples into larger pots, in which they are to 
bear; give but little water to ripening pines, 
lest the flavour be weakened. 
SEPTEMBER. 
Kitchen-garden. Now prepare your beds 
for'mushrooms, making them of the best fresh 
stable dung, in which the best spawn should 
be set ; if heavy rain should fall before com- 
pleted, cover with long dry litter ; take 
care only to cover the spawn about half an 
inch. Keep these beds very dry in winter; 
in very hot weather sprinkle occasionally 
with water. A mushroom bed will pro- 
duce in five or six weeks ; and old cucum- 
ber beds will often produce immense num- 
bers. Plant and sow lettuces; put some 
also into frames for winter service. Set out 
your young cauliflowers into a nursery bed, 
to stand the winter. Earth-up the Michael- 
mas cauliflowers, and urge them to perfec- 
tion, watering them abundantly, else they 
will be stunted. Transplant your young 
brocoli. Plant out your late savoys and 
cabbages, also your celery and coleworts. 
Earth-up your ridged celery. Tie up en- 
dive to blanch, and plant out more for a 
succession. Begin to blanch the more for- 
ward cardoons. Weed your young spinach 
and winter onions. Hoe your turnips in 
dry weather with a bold hand. Continue 
to sow small salading, chervil, &c. ; and 
gather your ripe seeds in fair weather.
