THE PAtlMER^S MANUAL; 
Continue to watch your vines, and destroy Worms, 
bugs, &c. Continue to nurse your plants with the 
hoe in the morning ; this must not be omitted, until 
the frosts and snows come. Your garden should be 
as free from weeds as your drawing-room. Continue 
to sow ruta baga, turnips, &c. Continue to clip your 
strawberries. 
AUGUST. 
Continue to transplant late cabbages, broccoli, 
ruta baga, celery, &c. Continue to gather seeds 
as they ripen, and dry them carefully , see to such 
seed-peas as were not gathered last month, and plant 
a new crop for autumn. Continue to pull late on- 
ions. Continue your hoeing in the morning when 
the dew is on. Let me repeat it, this is the best 
way of watering and manuring, unless it becomes 
very dry, a little water may then become necessary, 
early in the morning, or at evening, upon a dry soil. 
Continue to earth up your celery, and nurse such 
potatoes as are not fit to dig. Dig such as are ripe, 
or have dead vines. Begin to sow turnips for win- 
ter’s use, and transplant your ruta baga on to your 
early pea and potatoe ground, in rows 4 feet asunder, 
as before directed. In digging your ground, leave 
an open trench at each 4 feet distance ; manure in 
these trenches plentifully, with rich manure; cover it 
with earth, and set your roots over the manure, when 
the earth is fresh tlug; keep your plants clean with 
the hoe.
