GARDEN WORK FOR SEPTEMBER.
If you desire to have winter vegetable
deiicacies and early spring productions
from your garden, now is the time to
make preparations for both objects. At
ter cleaning up the garden; destroying
the insects that infest the plants and
small fruits, and working up all the beds
not in use, you may look to the sowing
of the following seeds and the setting
out of plants; not forgetting to attend
to tho other hints we venture to offer
for your guidance this month. We es-
TEEN this one of the most important
months in the year to the gardener, and
generally is trying one to him. Sep
tember for winter luxuries from the
garden is what April is to furnish those
for summer.
Early in the month sow radish seeds
china white, or rose colorod radish, Span
ish white or black. They are as hardy
as the turnip, and may be treated exact
ly like it, in cultivation and preserva-
ton.
If you have not patch of growing
turnips, sow at once some early white.
They will most probably mature and be
very tender and delicate; if not, they
will by being left over the winter, fur
CdulifoWer.-Sow about the 18th inst.
some seed, for storing the plants in cold
frames. .=.. +.
CatGage.- Sow seeds ut once for plants
to be planted out this autumn, or like
the cauliflower, To be planted thick in
cold frames and kept over for very early
planting in the spring. We really have
tried all kinds of early cabbage, but
have never found any better or as good,
in our Judgment, than the Early York
and the Large York. They are the same
only one is larger and little later, and
perhaps looser in the head than the 9TH
cr The Sugar Loaf is liked by many,
and the Flat Dutch this year was into
our markets very early and commanded
high prices owing to the size OF the
heads. Cabbage is eagerly sought after
i'll early summer, and this year brought
very high prices-as much as twenty
cents per head. This should be an in
ducemcnt for private and public garden
ers to look to its extensive cultivation.
1t is always saleable and will keep bet
ter than other early summer vegetables.
Garden Seeds, Save these carefully and
put them away from all harm, Save none
but from the best specimens. If you have
anything that is peculiarly fine, save il
to itself and cultivate it next year care
fully. Thus IL ia nature oft IN puts,a for
tune into the hands Of the observant and
painstaking horticulturist. Look at the
Trophy tomato, the carly rose potato &C.,
u few bulbs OF the latter sold in France,
we see it stated, for 81 800. We paid for
| the first Trophy tomato we ever sowed, a
cent per seed, and never regretted it.
MrdrJerTy Beds. Keep the old beds
clean, thin out and make new beds.
GoOseJerjes, Cu1Tants ond such small
FrUjt. Set out new plantations and dc
not let them suffer for water. Mulch
thnm we'll il will help them now and
during wintel.
Tomatoes-Look well to these keep OH
| the vile Colorado bug. BE sure to put
away in various forms, an ample supply
of this indispensable vegetable luxury
for winter use.
Cdery.-Earth up to the celery, but
only when the plant and ground both be
dry, and then do not cover the crown OF
the plant.
CoalNorers, Brocoli and Pcppers--mus
not suffer at any time for work or water
Three more important and valuable pro-
ducts are not to be found i'll n garden.
SpiHach-Sow bed Of Spinach the first
week and one the last week of the month.
iiaYe Il good supply for spring.
LetiUce.-Se OUT some plants and SOW
n.ore seed. The black seed Dutch is the
,1rdiest for winter, and forms a small
but compact, delicious head.
