MONTHLY CALENDAR. 
Salad, or Fetticus, 63; Cress, Rape, &c., every ten days, for 
a salad, 64; sow Mustard, for the same purpose, 76; sow 
Lettuce, 73 and 125 ; Onion, to stand the winter, 78 ; Radish, 
for fall use, 89 ; plant Shallots, 97 ; sow Spinach seed every 
week or ten days, 98 ; Turnips will sometimes come to ma- 
turity if the seed be sown the early part of this month, and 
those sown last month will need hoeing as they progress in 
growth, 104. 
Continue to gather, dry, and pack Hops as they ripen, 140 ; 
also all Aromatic, Sweet, and Medicinal Herbs, 108 ; this is 
a good season to make Mushroom beds in sheltered situa- 
tions ; they may be spawned with indigenous or artificial 
spawn, as may be most convenient. [For directions to pre- 
serve spawn, &c., see pages 126 and 127.] 
Toward the end of this month, or early in the next, is a 
good season to increase all kinds of herbaceous plants, by 
parting the roots, but it should be done in cloudy or wet 
weather ; at the same time, such herbs as were raised from 
seed sown in the spring, may be transplanted into separate 
beds or borders, 106 to 108. 
In this month must be finished all the principal sowings 
and plantings necessary this year; on this account such 
ground as is intended for principal crops next year, should 
be well manured previous to planting it. [See Spinach, 98.] 
Cucumber vines should be looked over, and the fruit 
gathered as it becomes fit for pickling, as a very slight frost 
will destroy Cucumbers, 66.
