Of such, the American oaks, Quercus palustris and Q. coccinea, maples of 

 rarious species and varieties, Rhus typhina, R. laciniata, B. succedanea, 

 and R. OsbecUi, Viburnum opulus (Guelder rose), and the various forms 

 of Ampelopsis and Vitis (climbing-) are specially suitable. A point in 

 favour of the American oaks is that they are not liable to attack by 

 the oak scale {Planchonia) . 



Vegetables. 



In the kitchen garden early varieties of peas and broad beans 

 should be sown. 



The best early market pea is Day's Sunrise, quantities of which 

 are usually grown in the heavy, loamy soils near Melbourne. It is 

 always first in the market, and usually commands good prices. 

 Yorkshire Hero is the next in succession, and is generally the best 

 main crop pea. Early peas should always be staked, as they are thus 

 less liable to be aifected by frost and fungus diseases. 



Celery should be earthed up some time before it is required for 

 use. A dressing of manure and salt should be forked into asparagus 

 beds. 



Potato and tomato haulm, cabbage and cauliflower leaves, and 

 all refuse from plants affected by rust or spot should be burned.
