seasons in this month win admit the plant
ing Of the seeds. Many plants after they
are up, require watching. Early spring
Iturnip and rlltabaga, in all this and next
month. Unless the land is entirely fresh
and new, plant in drills. For rutabaga,
the drills should be three feet apart.
Spring turnips eighteen inches sow very
thin in the drill. There are more turnip
crops lost BY too thick seeding, than any
other way. English peas may be planted.
and should the season prove dry, mulched
with decomposing leaves or straw, as the
weather begins to grow cold in the fall,
they viii yield finely. Plant corn for
roasting ears. Plant snap beans. Con.
time to plant okfa and tomatoes. All the
varieties Of cabbage may yet be planted.
The early varieties will head in the fall
and the late ones in the winter. Peppers
may. yet be planted for green eating.
RePlant Irish po,atoes; spade the ground
deeply that they may stand the dry wea,h,
er Of August and September, and as the
cool weather Of November and December
comes on, they will be. in fine eating
order. Frost may, cut the top down. ye.
unless the ground is frozen, the tubers
will be mealy and good.
81 Cucumbers and squashes may now be
planted, aud if protected from the Miller
that lays the egg which produces the
worm % destructive to the tender fruit,
will yield . rich return. All garden
vegetables will now require constant cui-
ture. Stir the soil frequently but no.
deep enough 10 disturb the roots. The
hand cultivstor between the narrow rows,
and tho horse hoe in the wide rows, will
perform the work well, and save labor.
We have often said that our iall and winter
gardens might rival those Of Spring and
Sumuper. Let us compare notes. In the
fsll We may have beans.-both snap and
pole, beets, cabbages Of all kinds, celery,
carrots, parsnips, cucumbers, squashes,

have nsAnaged well ia the spring aud
sommsr, We may take from the open
grosoas, cabbage, kale cauliAower, celery,
