AUGUST

Keep the garden clean from late weeds--especially purslane, the hot- weather weed pest, which should be always _removed_ from the garden and burned or rotted down. Sow spinach, rutabaga turnip, bush beans and peas for last fall crop. During first part of month, late



celery may still be put out. Sow lettuce for early fall crop, in frames. First lot of endive should be tied up for blanching. _Fruit_. Strawberries may be set, and pot-layered plants, if wanted to bear a full crop the following season, should be put in by the Thin out and bag grapes.
