Garden Calendar for September.

Kitchen Garden. — This is the best month for cropping in almost any situation, and a general sowing* of almost any vegetable may be put in. Plant potatoes, artichokes, cabbage, cauliflowers, and where maroons or' cucumbers are wanted to be raised, put up a hot bed far that purpose, which may be also used for general purposes, such as celery starting, or the finest varieties of flower seeds, sowing each variety iii pots or pans separately. Fruit Garden— -Should any pi renting still be undone, it would be well to get it attended to at once, as the sap now begins to flow and the buds to swell, in transplanting* young trees or. bushes, cut the tLccts well, brick and. thin-out the weaker ones; and where ; exposed to wind secure the plants with a stake firmly driven into the ground and tie the tree to it. It is new good time to fork or dig in the -tanner advised to the land on the ground daring frosty weather, either en vacant, ground or between fruit trees or strawberry rows. Flower Garden. — If the ground, is dry and breaks easily down, sow and transplant- all hardy flowers and annuals, but in sowing* do so when the ground is in a good dry condition. In the greenhouse, attend to shifting of camelias, heaths, and also geraniums and fuchsias.
