HORTICULTURAL CALENDAR. 
Mignonette to stand the winter in pots, should be sown about the middle of the month, in 
light, sandy, maiden soil, perfectly free from dung. 
Orange and Lemon Stocks may be budded, if this were not the case last month. Cuttings 
may also be put in. See page 165. 
Pinks may yet be propagated by pipings, planted under a hand-glass, if a sufficient quantity 
be not put in. 
Ranunculuses should be taken up, if this operation were not performed last month, and 
spread in a dry, airy situation, previously to their being laid by. Those planted last month 
will flower about the middle of September. 
Rose Trees of most sorts may still be budded, but the varieties of China do the best, if bud¬ 
ded early in the season. 
Violets may still be propagated by dividing the roots and cuttings. 
VEGETABLE DEPARTMENT 
Carrots sown about the middle of ti e month will be fit for table in the spring. A small fly 
deposits its eggs on the carrot, about the beginning of the month, but we are unable either to 
tell what sort it is or how to destroy it. 
Cabbage seed sown the first week will come in for coleworts in winter and spring. Also 
finish planting Savoys, &c. 
Cauliflowers planted out now will be in use from October towards the end of the month. 
Sow more seed to stand the winter in frames. 
Celerg planted out last month will require earthing in fine weather ; also more should be 
planted for spring use. 
Cucumbers raised from cuttings, if well watered and otherwise looked after, will bear abun¬ 
dantly from the beginning of September. 
Endive. —Plant out for a full crop, and sow more seeds to come into use early in the spring. 
Lettuces sow in the first and third weeks, to come into use in October; plant out also from 
the seedling beds such plants as are of a sufficient size. 
Onions must be taken up in fine weather. Sow a few Stratsbnrgh to use in October and 
November; and about the middle of the month, sow a crop of Welsh for winter use. 
Mushroom Beds made now come into use in October. 
Broccoli. —Sow Green Cape and Early Purple Cape, to produce heads in April'and May 
next year. 
Shallots and Garlic must be taken up, if not already removed. Choose dry weather for the 
purpose, and spread them out until sufficiently dry to tie up in bunches. 
Sweet and Bitter Herbs are readily propagated by slips or cuttings. And on dry days they 
should be gathered to dry for winter use, let this be done just before they come into flower. 
Spinach. —The prickly and Flanders should be sown for a full winter crop, not later than the 
middle of the month. 
Turnips should be sown in the first week for a main crop at the end of autumn, and about 
twice more to succeed them.
