September, The month Of ingatherng, the equal
izing month Of days and nights; days Of inyigora
ting GOODNESS, nights OF refreshing slumbers; how
welcome after the sweating tolls OF the summer
harvest
The gathering and storing Of fruits and Vegcta-
bes for future is the great labor OF the month";
but among the horticultural operations will be, to
finish up early the budding Of late growing roses,
peaches and some other fruits If still growing Wig
orously, to zee that the bud strings label wires
are not girding the trees, to psune away all late
starting shoots from the base Of trees, and clean
away rubbish and weeds. But do no severe prun-
ing now, as You thereby induce q late growth, be
sides depriyiDg the roots Of large store ofreturn
ing sap.
Attend early and late 10 labelling or stalking and
registering fruit trees, perennial and herbaceouS
shrubs by fruit, foliage and flower, you can now
distinguish the varieties, and il may be very desi
rabe to know them at tranSplanting tmci if you
have them thus booked, you will then know what
and where you want new varietise. To orchardlsts
especially would we commend this plan, and in
your register take and give full description Of
ire foliage, and fruit, If it is of value.
Tie up choice specimens OF fruit. In order to
get the full size, beauty AID quality, they should
be fully ipened on t!e tree, bat they cannot al
ways be retained until that time andt is ottende-
srable to gave specimens for exhibition, such can
be licked little before maturity. Envelop each
one ia paper and keep from the !igLt in cold
dry place.
Fruits designed for market should be handled
with the greatest care, every retailer viii attest
Continue 10 save seeds Of everything desirable,
aud with the greatest aasiduliy all SEEDS should be
dried in the shade and some vill not bear drying
a all as the plum, peach, chestnut, walnut, &c ,
but should be planted when cresh or mixed with
loan and buried until convenient time
Transplanting can begin OF curruuts and many
other shrubs, as soon as the cool moist weather
comes, aud after the plants are ripened, the earr
or The better.
BuDou and tuJerous plants that have matufed
their foliage. especially the peona lily, tulips, &c.
should by All means be moved now; divided plant
ed stakod, registered and muched for the winter.
All things transplaned now should have the earth
henped over them and vol mulched with straw
for the winter.
Cuttings can be made of sclons for future use
but they should have all the unripe wood & leaves
trimmed off and be buried in the earth; b ut tic
gerat mass Of scions for winter use viii beout du
ring the next two months. Cuttings can be made
of growing twigs OF many varieties of roses and
herbaceou5 plants Immediately potted or bedded
in the greenhouse, or even in the room if covered
with glass; well rooted plants can now be ported
and on the approach Of frost can be placed in win
ter quarters, The coid pit is one of the best eco.
nomcal structures for wintering half hardy plants
and should be prepared early this month.
In all these labors don't forget to get ready fol
