Kitchen Garden. — Seakale grown for forcing should be taken up at once, and 

 packed away in dry earth or sand, where it can be obtained during frosty weather, 

 but where it will not be subjected to a temperature high enough to start it into 

 growth. Take up a few of the best turnips, and store in dry eartli, as frost some- 

 times melts them into a jelly. Parsnips and salsify may be left in the ground 

 another month if not convenient to store away now. As for roots in general, the 

 sooner they are taken up and properly stored the better. It is very important that 

 all vacant plots should be ridged up to have the full benefit of winter weather. On 

 dry sandy soils, peas and beans may be sown now, but it is a waste of seed to sow 

 on wet soils, or where vermin abound. 



Flower Garden. — Chrysanthemums in pots should be put under some kind of 

 shelter, and if a border is appropriated wholly to these flowers, a canvas awning is 

 essential to their full development. Many things will be found in flower now, if 

 the weather is mild, such as Aster multiflora, fulvis, and elogans, Anemone Japonica, 

 and several of the varieties of the English primrose. This is a good time to buy 

 and plant hardy herbaceous plants, especially such as primroses, polyanthuses, daisies, 

 and other tufty growing subjects. 



Greenhouse and Stove. — Whatever is to be kept in the plant houses during the 

 winter, should be housed without any more delay. There may be no frost to kill 

 tender things, but there will be rain and wind to injure them. W'inter flowering 

 subjects should have a special care now. In the greenhouse good places near the 

 gla-3 must be given to cyclamens, primulas, cinerarias, and the forwardest bulbs; 

 but the advantage of warmth is rather to be afforded to such as have already made 

 great progress without it than to compel growth from the very first. Therefore, 

 do not unduly hasten anything; when a plant is already showing its flower-buds, 

 it will bear forcing far better than when only just commencing growth. In the 

 stove, dendrobiuras, poinsuttias, hyacinths, and euphorbias, will need a good heat 

 and plenty of moisture. 



Fruit Garden.— VY&ni early, and plant well. If the soil is poor, dig it over 

 deeply and manure liberally. To mulch the ground after planting is always a good 

 practice. Bush trees that arc not subjected to the pincliing process, will require to 

 be moderately shortened in, but severe pruning must not be thought of. 



*.y* Past issues of the Floral World contain copious calendars of operations, 

 and the Garden Oracle has a complete and concise calendar, adapted for reference. 

 For these reasons, the " Garden Guide" will be on a contracted scale this year. ^
