Gardening for the Month

SEPTEMBER

Kitchen Garden

In favourable weather bring arrears of work well forward, bow the main crop of beet root, parsnips and oarrotß. Sow and transplant celery. Transplant lettuce and make another bowing, taking care to bow very thin when sure of good seed ; should the plants come up too thick, transplant into rows a foot aparb each way. Sow onions for salads Risk a sowing of French beans in a sheltered situation. Sow parsley in drills or as an edging to walks. Make a full sowing of turnips about the end of the month also raddish, cress, mustard, and suoh other lalada as are in demand j peas and beans also accord its gto demand. Plant full crops of cauliflower, brocoli, and oabbages

CCCUMBBB AND MBLON FbAMES If plants are ready and the heat somewhat Moderated, place the soil in the frames two or three days previous to planting, so thab ib may get warmed through, raise the soil on a little hillock in the centre of the frame and place the plants about 15 inches from the glass, oare being taken to avoid excessive heat. Sow a few more seeds, oo as to have a store in case of accident or mismanage ment. If melons are intended to be grown, sowseeds in pots in the cucumber frames,and when they have made two pairs of leaves, plant and treat the same as cucumbers. The soil for melons should be a sironger loam than that in which cucumbers are grown.

Gbkhnhocse Intelligent cu'tivators will now be busy in the greenhouse and potting shed, as now is the time for potting the greater number of plants kept in small potß during winter, and also for re-potting store or specimen plants, (the work should be done on a dull cool day, and it must be understood that the work, in this department is not to be one of routine, ia whioh all the plants are to receive the same treatment. Attend firsb to the free growing varieties and the most vigorous plants. Slightly increase the proportion of water, whioh must nob be given before the plants aotually require it j the frequency and amount required will greatly depend on the existing state of the atmosphere, and ib h deiirable that the water should be of the earns temperature as the house. Push for ward for early blooming a few pelargoniums and fuchsias.

. FX.OVBR Garden ■ and Shrubbery Take advantage of dry weather to eradi cate weeds, and getting ground ready for bedding dahlias, petunias, verbenas, lobelias, •to. Sow all kinds of annuals* ORCdABD AND FBUII GARDEN

ikpricetß, nectarines, and poaches should sot be pruned' Mulch newly planted trees of all sorts, by covering the roots with long straw dung ; this will prevent exoessive evaporation of moisture from the eoi!, and Bnoourage the roots near the surface to form sponglolea, and should ihe weather be dry, water liberally two or three times a week.
