FOR AUGUST, THIS should be a busy month in all gardens, for draining, digging, trenching, planting of trees, hedges, bulbs, etc, Dig round all fruit trees giving apples, pcan, and plums manure; prime fruit trees cutting away all cross shoots leaving only such branches as ought to remain, do not follow the absurd practice of cutting back the leaning branches with the idea of making the trees dwarf. In cutting the tree back it only forces growth encourages blight and waste fruit. Those that believe in cutting back to cause fruit bearing or to make a dwarf should inspect the result upon hedge rows undor the same treatment, and they will see that edges that are cut are the tallest and the most branchy but without fruit. If you want liaws take the hedge that is left to grow without cutting. So we have found the same result in fruit growing. In planting out young trees water them well, put shelter round young pines and cupressus. Early sowing of cabbage reed may now be made of the following sorts: Early York, King of Cabbage, Warenheap, Sugar Loaf, alsocauliilower in a dry sheltered spot. Onions to ensure a good crop should be sown this month, the sorts to sow are brown Spanish (well known), danders yellow is one of the best crops and keeps best for large onions, try giant roccoa, Sow carrots early and late sorts. Sow turnips towards the end of the month, also parsnips and potatoes. Sow parsley as edgings or in beds, also pels and broad Windsor beans. Flower seed will be better sown this month than later; shelter them from tlie sun and frost, Sow rl-üba'-b in weH dug rich ground the stalks will be lit for use in Autumn.
