30 THE FLOEAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 



before you have had two clear seasons' growing since they were layered, and I have 

 no doubt they will next year be so covered with fruit as to be worthy of being 

 likened to vegetable furnaces, for the berries are the most fiery of all berries, and 

 usually they are produced in tremendous bunches.

Kitchen Garden. — So much depends on the weather and the situation of the 

 G.arden, that suggestions for this montli's work must be received cum grano 

 salts. On warm borders, where a little shelter can be given in case of frost, sow 

 small breadths of two-bladed onion, green collard, York cabbage, horn carrot, hardy 

 lettuce and mustard. Peas and beans may be sown in open quarters. All forcing 

 operations must be watched with diligence, in order to insure proper siiccessions. 



Fruit Garden. — Pruning and nailing may be done when there is no frost. This 

 is a good time to lay down a coating of fat manure among bush fruits, to be dug in 

 between them during frost. 



Floiver Garden, demands attention chiefly to keep it clean ; standai-d roses may 

 be planted, and flower-beds may be deeply dug, manured, and left rough. 



Greenhouse to be kept as airy as possible, without giving a chill to any delicate 

 subjects. Clean glass is a great help now to the well-doing of the plants. Hard- 

 wooded plants must never be subjected to sudden extremes of temperature ; soft- 

 wooded plants bear heat much better, but a great heat is never required, and is 

 always injurious. Do not allow any plants to become dust dry at the root, even 

 during frosty weather, give water when required, and maintain a genial tem- 

 perature of 50' to 60' by day, and 40" by night. 



Stove.— A good time now to I'epot many plants that require it, and to make a 

 general inspection of the collection. Put gloxinias and achimenes in pans and 

 start them. 



*,;f,* A full calendar of operations will not be attempted this j'ear. In the 

 Floiial Would for the year 1863 a very copious calendar was given, reference to 

 which will be found serviceable both for reminders and directions. In the Gaeden- 

 Oracle for 1866 will be found a completecalendar of operations, carefully arranged 

 to suit as nearly as possible all the climates of Britain.
