Garden Work for sentemDer-Tbe Mr.

1
land Farmer suggests the following garden worl
| for this month:
| There is not much work to be done in the gar
| den during the month of September, beyond keep
| ing the ground free from weeds and grass, anC
giving good attention to the culture of the flowers
and shrubs in the flower garden. The lawn and
| grass walks ought not to be moved after the goth
of the month. 1t is best not to cut the grass toe
| late in the season, except where it should make
unusual growth, because of the richness of the
soil and the favorableness of the weather.
Lima Beans and all other Beans.-G Gather Lima
beans, pole and dwarf or snap beans as soon as
they are ripe, dry few days, then shell them,
and, if quite dry, put them in barrels or bags.
Radish.-Sow beds of the white turnip radish
Chinese, which will give supply for winter, be-
ing treated just as you treat the white turnip,
both in culture and preservation during winter.
Celery-Begin to earth up celery for bleaching.
EndiUes.-Set out plants early this month.
Turnips.-Thin out and keep clean of grass the
growing turnips. 1t is not yet too late to SOW
turnips On rich, well-prepared land.

planted in moist weather.
Small Salading-All kinds of small salading
may be sown early this month.
Lestuce.-Set out plants, and SOW seeds in
frames for winter and spring use.
Sperion Kaie-Prepare bed, with southern
exposure II possible. Make 1t rich, rake well,
sow the seed about as thick as you would turnips
broadcast Rake the seed lightly in, roll or pat
with the hoe or spade, and then strew over it
ashes parts, plaster and salt part. 1t will
require no more attention. Light dry soil suits
this excellent vegetable best. 1t is much admir-
ed as early greens, and comes in from jowl time,
February, and lasts until late spring
Spinach.-Be sure to sow seeds of this superior
vegetable on bed as prepared for kale, and SOW
IN drills ten inches apart, one inch deep; cover
the seed with back of the rake, and pat down the
ground over them. When the leaves get one or
two inches broad, thin and weed, stirring the
ground well.
Caulifo,0er and Broccol.-Keep these clear of
weeds, the ground light, and in dry weather give
them liberal watering every third evening at
that will reach the roots. Sow seeds of these
splendid members Of the brassca tribe about the
9th to 10th Of the month, and they will in six
weeks be ready to transplant in cold frames, or
inches apart, for setting out early next sping.
CabJage.-Make bed rich and put it in fne
filth, and sow early York, large York, large sugar
loaf, and Winningstadt cabbage. Sow in drills
inches apart, or broadcast, divide the bed in
squares and mark with sticks labelled, so as to
keep each kind separate, and you will have
regular succession next spring and early summer;
they will head in the order named. If the fly at
tacks them, dust well with SCOT parts, and
part sulphur, when the dew is on ashes, plaster,
&C., are also used for busting. If the weather be
dry, water with a fine nozzle watering pot until
there is rain.
