Le^J:. — 8()w a little seed and ti'aii.splaut any seedlings that, me available in 

 !ffoo.l land, and those that are coQiini;- along might have a little earth drawn 

 up to them to l)laneh the stems. 



Endive. — Plant any seedlings that are sufficiently grown. This salad 

 vegetable is very useful, the peculiar bitter flavour making it very much 

 appreciated by many people. 



Peas. — Sow a few rows and keep any previous or growing crops ^\•ell 

 cultivated ; also see that they have plenty of support in the wa}- of sticks to 

 prevent the heavv winds from dest^roying the haulms. 



Spinach. — Sow a little seed and plant out any seedlings that may be ready. 

 Spinach is well worth growing in every garden, for, apart from lieing easily 

 grown, it produces more for the space of ground occupied than many other 

 vegetables. 



Turnips. — Thin out any seedlings that are coining on, and keep them 

 growing so that they Avill not be pithy or strong. 



Herbs.— ^ee that the stock of herbs is not getting low ; there should always 

 be plenty for the kitchen use. 



Flowers. 



This is a very good time of year to undertake any alterations in tlie flower 

 garden in the w-ay of making new borders, grass plots, lawns, w^alks, etc. 

 Hedges might also be trimmed up or new ones planted. 



For making hedges, there are many varieties of plants to choose from. 

 Amongst thoi-e wdiich louk very well are, Salthush, Duranta Plumierii, 

 Hawthorn (May), Olive (coiniuon), Pittosporum (of varieties), and Japanese 

 Privet [Liguslrum lucidum). 



All deciduous plants might now be put out. For making some enrly bloom 

 many varieties may be obtained, such as Deutzia, Diervilla oi Weigelia, 

 Guelder Ptose, Pomegranate, Magnolia, -Spirea, Lilac, double-flowering Plums 

 of varieties {Prunus triloha and Primus mztme), also double-flowering Peach, 

 Cherry, and Hawthorn of ^■arious colours. Any of these should have a place 

 in the garden as they make a mass of bloom in the >p'ing and are very 



attractive. 



Dahlias should now be taken up and stored until tlie next planthig season. 

 Chrysanthniiiums may be dug up and the young offshoots rooted for spring 

 planting as they produce better blooms than when the old clumijs are allowed 

 to remain for flowering next year. 



If sufficient seedlings of spring flowering plants have not been raised they 

 should be put in at once. Any pansies that have not been planted out. 

 .should be attended to as soon as possible.
