mHE FLOWER, FRUIT, & KITCHEN 1 GARDEN. 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, pear-3, and plums manure; prune fruit trees cutting away a ] 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 cav.se fruit bearing or to make a dwarf should inspect the result upon hedge rows under 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 haws take the hedge that is left to grow without cutting, So we have found the same result in fruit prowiug. In planting out young trees water them well, put shelter round young pines and cupressus. Early sowing of cabbage eeed may now bo made of the following sorts: Early York, King of Cabbage, Warcnheap, Sugar Loaf, also cauliflower 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 roecoa, 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 pens and broad Windsor beans. Flower seed will be better sown this month than later; shelter them from the sun and frost. Sow rhubarb in well dug rich ground the stalks will be fit for use in Autumn.
