GARDEN WORK IN AUGUST.

If any seeds were omitted to be sown last month, finish now. Sow cabbage and all kinds of greens to stand through the winter for plants in spring; also cabbage and Dutch lettuces on warm borders, for winter use. Earth up celery, and plant out more. Clean asparagus beds. If room, plant more brocoli, cabbage, &c. About the middle sow cauliflower and prickly spinage. Gather onions, garlic, and all sweet herbs. Clip thorn hedges and pare thrift edgings.
