_Lilies._--If success is required of the St. Joseph's or Virgin lily
(_L. candidum_), it must be planted right away.

_Perennials and biennials_ should be sown early this month. They have
two good growing months ahead of them yet to make considerable progress.
The seed-bed will require shade during the middle of the day until the
young plants come up; frequent weedings will be required, as coco has
not yet quit growing, and winter weeds are now putting in an appearance.

_Remarks._--All plants used for salad purposes may be sown this month.
The ground between the rows of growing crops should be kept in a fine,
friable condition. Vegetable seeds of all kinds should always be sown on
slight ridges on all but very sandy soils. If the seed is sown on a
level bed, as practiced at the North, the ground will become as hard as
a turnpike road should a heavy rain occur; and should this shower come
along before the plants are up, a crust a quarter of an inch deep will
be formed, and the plants will never see daylight. Sown on a ridge they
come all right, as the water gradually drains away, leaving the top of
the ridge loose and soft.

OCTOBER

_All spring flower seeds_ should be sown in boxes or trays in the
conservatory, and all spring bulbs should be planted. The hyacinth,
narcissus, tulip and anemone, ranunculus and various lily bulbs, will
bloom in good season planted at this time. The bedding plants should be
carefully watched, so that any attack of aphis may be treated
immediately. Sweet peas may be planted the first of this month, although
they are commonly sown in September. A rich spot should be selected for
them. This is the time to make the new lawn. The soil should be
thoroughly stirred and well pulverized, mixing in a good dressing of
commercial fertilizer, or, if one prefers it, a mixture which may be
made at home, consisting of cotton-seed meal, acid phosphate, and
sulfate of potash, at the rate of 1000 lb., 300 lb., and 100 lb.
respectively, per acre. A rich, well-rotted compost, as a top dressing,
would also be highly beneficial. Roses pruned late in September or early
this month will produce fine winter blooms.

_In the garden_ this is a busy month; some of the winter vegetables are
growing, and others should be sown. The bud artichokes should be
separated and set fully 3 ft. apart. Onions may still be sown in the
early part of the month, and shallots should be divided and set. Some
beans may be risked, and English peas sown for winter crop. A few
cauliflowers may be tried and cucumbers planted in pots for the hotbeds
next month. The following vegetables should be sown: Carrots, corn
salad, chervil, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, beets, endive, kohlrabi,
kale, lettuce, leeks, mustard, parsley, parsnip, radish, roquette,
spinach, Swiss chard, salsify. Some cabbage and a few cauliflowers
should be added to the list. Turnips should be sown for succession every
two weeks until April or May. The celery should be kept growing and
banking up commenced.

This is an excellent time to plant the new strawberry bed. Make the bed
rich with well-rotted manure and select good, healthy sets. The Michel's
Early and Cloud are probably the most popular varieties for general
planting, and should be set in alternating rows.

NOVEMBER

_Flower seeds and bulbs_ may be planted this month of the same varieties
as in October. Cuttings of all the herbaceous plants should be made and
potted, for use in the house and for the borders next season. The
coldframes should also be put in order. Some of the bulbs for winter
forcing should be selected and potted. One of the best Louisiana
gardeners recommends the following treatment: Select good, strong bulbs
and plant them in rich, light soil, in 5-in. pots, covering them about
half an inch. Water well and bury the pots 6 or 8 in. deep in the
ground, leaving them there about five weeks, when the bulbs will be
found to be well rooted. From this time gradually expose to the light,
and they will soon put forth blooms.

_The same vegetables_ may be sown as for October, and the late cabbage
seed planted. The Flat Dutch and Drumhead strains are prime favorites.
New sowings of peas, turnips, mustard, and radishes should be made, and
the hotbeds prepared and set out to cucumbers. Too much care cannot be
taken that the manure should be in the best condition possible, so that
a good supply of heat may be depended upon. The cucumbers planted last
month will be ready now for setting in the hotbeds, and a winter
crop forced.

_Orchard and vineyard planting._--This is the time to prepare land.
That on which a late crop of cowpeas has grown is well suited for the
purpose, and should be plowed deeply and well worked over. Towards the
last of the month it should be cultivated again, in order to be ready
for the trees next month.

DECEMBER

_Lawns and yards_ need watching this month, and attention should be paid
to the old leaves and fall rubbish, which makes the yard look untidy. A
good place for the leaves is the compost heap. Hedges should be put in
shape and the surface drains kept open. Shrubs and roses should be
pruned for an early supply of flowers. The Camellia Japonicas are now in
bloom, and care should be taken that the small branches are not torn
off, instead of being cut properly. Many of these most beautiful of
southern ornamental trees have been ruined by careless plucking
of flowers.

_Garden and orchard._--Many of the fall vegetables may be sown this
month and others sown for a succession. Peas, spinach, roquette,
radishes, lettuce, endive, and some Early York cabbage should also be
sown. In the old spent hotbeds, tomatoes, peppers, and egg-plants may be
started; there will not be enough heat to hurry them, and good, strong
stocky plants will be secured if care is taken. Irish potatoes may be
risked, should there be a favorable time for planting during the latter
part of the month. Usually they are planted in January. The chances are
about equal should they be planted late this month. Nuts of all kinds,
both for budding and otherwise, should be planted. Some of the best
Louisiana pecans are said to come true from seed, and may be sown where
they are intended to grow.
