Diseases and Insects. The trees have not hitherto suffered from the Mildew, on aecount of the 
fine weather, but should it appear, wash the trees with sidphnr and water, by means of a 
garden eiifjine; should the red spider, (ararus) be troublesome, use the same as for the Mil. 
dew; or elear water, often applied, will havedbe desired effect. The Knrviij, (Forficula 
Auricularia) are not very numerous around us, Imt when they attack the fruit, place 
lengths of bean stalks in the trees, in which they will slielter, and if they are blow n ()ut 
every morniu"', and killed, you will speedily reduce their numbers. Should the Wood¬ 
louse, (Oniscus Assellus) be prevalent on the walls,- to eradicate them, see extract from 
Gardener’s Magazine, inserted in our Register for July, page l(j. 
FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 
Carnation Layers will in general now be pretty well rooted, pot them in 32 sized pots in good 
rich mould, placing three or four in a pot; if sufficient plants have not been obtained, they 
may still be propagated with success. 
Auricula and Polyanthus Seeds, now sown, generally succeed better than in the sj.ring; young 
seedlings also may be pricked out in a shady border. 
Jiulhous.Kooted Plants, such as Crown Imperials, Martagon Lilies &cc., may now be trans¬ 
planted, which should be done after the leaves are decayed, before they make fresh fibres; 
also the seeds of Bulbous plants may now be sown 
Biennial and Perennial Seedlinys, such as Sweet Williams, Wall-fiowers, Stocks, &c., should 
now be planted out in beds, to transplant in the spring, it would be well to choose cloudy 
weather for the purpose. 
J/fynorte//e, should now be sown in pots to stand through the winter, in frames; the mou'd 
selected for the purpose, should be maiden soil, light, sandy, and free from dung. 
Dahlia Cuttings, may still be put in with success, where sufficient has not been struck, 
Brampton and Ten Week Stocks should now be sown, the latter to shelter in the frames through 
the winter, and flower early in the spring 
Pink pipings may still be put in, where a sufficient (juantity has not Ireen propagated. 
Herbaceous Plants, oi many kinds, should now be propagated, by parting the roots, such as 
Gentiana, Lychni*, Campanula, Primula, Helleborus, &c. 
Erica cuttings, when not done before, may be put in.—Carefully take off the extreme ends, at 
about an iuch or less, and put them in a pot of fine house or Calais sand ; after watering, 
let them remain three hours or more, afterwards cover them tightly down with a bell-glass, 
setting them in a moderate dry warmth, and water them occasionally, shading them 
constantly from the sun. 
Diosmas, and many other green-house plants, with delicate foliage, may now be struck by 
cuttings, in a similar manner to those of the Erica. 
VEGETABLE DEPARTMENT. 
Celery, planted in Jidy, will require earthing up in the beginning of this month ; be careful to 
choose fine weather, when the plants are dry; also plant out more to come in early in the 
spring. 
Turnips, should be sown in the first week, for a main crop, to come in'kt'riie end of Autumn, 
and about twice more in the course of the month for a succession. 
Radishes should be sown about three times in I he month for successive autumn crops. 
Lettuce plants, of a good size must be planted out and kept well watered, when the weather is 
dry, or they will be liable to run to seed; also sow about the 1st and 3rd weeks to come in 
for autumn and winter use 
Endive, may now be planted out for a full crop, in vows one foot apart, and about eight inches 
in the rows from plant to plant; and sow a little more seed for a late .spring crop. 
Carrots, sown at the beginning and middle of the month will be fit for drawing young in the 
spring. 
Onions; where young ones are wanted, a few of the Stratzburg might be sown in the begin, 
ning, to use from November to May ; also about tbe20tb sow a full crop of the Welsh. 
Spinach, for the main crop, to stand the winter, must be sown from the beginning to the middle 
of the month. 
Cabbage seed, sown about the fir.st week, will come in for autumn and winter; and about tlie 
middle of the month sow the Battersea, Yorkshire, and Sugar-loaf, for spring. Take 
advantage of every opportunity to finish planting out Savoys, Brocoli, Borecole, Brus¬ 
sels Sprouts, &c. 
Caulijlower s^etd should be sown about the middle and latter end of the month to .stand through 
the winter in frames, &c. Those sown in .hrne, now planted out, will, if the weather 
pi'oves favourable, continue in use from the beginning of October to December. 
Herbs lit for cutting must be gathered in dry days. 
Shallots and Garlic, if the stems indicate the roots are full grown, take them up on a dry day 
Insects. The chief depredators are the Caterpillar of the common Ijorge ('abbnge Hutlerjlg, 
(Pontia Brassica) which must be picked oft' the Cabbage plants; and the Slug, (Limax 
Agrestis) which may be destroyed by quick-lime being thrown upon them wlu-n discovered , 
or laying it round the roots of the plants they infect, will in a great measure jtrevent t heir 
depredations.
