GARDEN WORK. 



Kitclien Garden.- — Everytbing in the way of work must now depend on the wea- 

 ther. If the ground is dry, let every vacant plot be trenched or deeply dug, and 

 laid up in ridges. On well-drained lands a i'ew rosvs of the earliest peas mav be 

 sown ; the best for the purpose being Sutton's Miiigleader, Dickson's First, "and 

 Sangsiers No. 1. These will come into use in the order of their names if they 

 survive the winter. 'A small breadth of Harly Mazagan and Long-fod beans may 

 also he sown if an early dish next season is desirable. If the autumn-planted broc- 

 colis have not been heeled, then it must be done at once. Dig a trench on the 

 north side of each row, and gently heave them over with their heads northward, and 

 lay the soil on the south side on their stems up to the lowest leaves. If they are in 

 a rampant state of growth, lift them and plant them against ridges with their heads 

 to the north. On warm, dry soils this is a good time to plant potatoes. Asparagus 

 bed not dressed up must he made clean, and have three inches of fat manure laid, 

 on. Take up sea-kale roots for forcing, remove the leaves, and pack the roots in 

 sand, or any material ready to hand, in a dry shed till wanted. The act of lifting 

 will cause them to ripen their crowns perfectly, which will cause them to force 

 better. During fine weather plant out collards and lettuces from the seed-beds. 

 Any roots not yet stored, must be got up before the frost catches then:. 



Fruit Garden. — All kinds of hardy fruits may now be planted. Early plantin"- 

 Js of great importance, especially if the trees have fruit spurs, as if they n:ake new- 

 roots quickly they will bear good crops next season. Finish pruning and training 

 wall trees. Eepot orchard-house trees, or if to remain in the same pots, remove the 

 top soil and dress with good loam and manure. 



Floiver Garden. — Plant roses, hardy herbaceous plants, bulbs of all kinds. It 

 is a good time to make box edgings and improve walks, as the hands are not much 

 pressed with work. Take up roots of Dahlias, and Marvel of Peru, and store in a 

 cool, dry place. 



Greenhouse and Store. — Beware of damp, and use fire during close, muo-fy 

 weather, to cause a circulation of air in the house. Frequent removal of dead leaves 

 and quick removal of all litter, are good preventives of mildew. Plants to be 

 forced must be prepared by placing them in the greenhouse for a time. Plants in 

 flower must have suificient warmth. Orchids at rest must not go dry, but Avater 

 must be given sparingly. It is an excellent plan to cover outside vine borders, 

 especially if the vines are to be forced ; but all early vineries should have inside 

 borders, that the vines may be fully under control, root and branch. 



NEWS OF THE MONTH. 



The United Horticultural Society having obtained a grant of the Guildhall
