twice, but during a period of eight or nine years — was brewed in 

 Staffordshire, by a near relative, the celebrated Mr. Wedgwood, of 

 Etruria. The malt was purchased at Newcastle-under-Line, the 

 hops were those of "Worcestershire ; three quarters of a pound of the 

 latter were always allowed to every bushel of the former ; and the 

 brewing we witnessed — MS. notes of which are now before us — 

 was upon the scale of six bushels of malt to four pounds and a half 

 of hops, to yield forty -four gallons of ale, and perhaps twelve gallons 

 of beer.

THE GAEDEN GUIDE EOR OCTOBER. 



THE FLOWEE GAEDEN. 



ilEE that chrysanthemums are securely staked ; train out the plants in 

 pot?, and make them neat and tidy for blooming, and give plenty of 

 water and liquid manure. Where required to take the place of 

 bedding plants, get them into their places without delay, and lift care- 

 fully with good balls. Plant hyacinths, tulips, crocuses, scillas, crown 

 imperials, liliums, gladioli, narcissi, jonquils, daffodils, and snow-drops. Part 

 and plant out perennials in the borders, get auriculas and carnations under glass 

 for the winter, but give plenty of air. This is a good time to plant American 

 shrubs of all kinds. Remove decaying leaves ; keep walks and lawns tidy. 



KITCHEN GARDEN. 



Make a general clearauce of the ground wherever there are vacant spaces, and 

 ridge up all plots not to be planted on during winter. Get a waste corner clear 

 for heaping up manures and composts, where they can be turned over during 

 frosts, and, if convenient, empty the muck-pit, and cover the rotted stuff with a 

 layer of soil to throw off rain ; the whole to be turned two or three times before 

 using it in spring. Plant out the August sown cabbage ; leave the weakest in 

 the seed-bi-d for future planting. Plant out lettuce in a warm situation ; take up 

 potatoes, carrots, beets, and parsnips ; earth up celery. Use the fork, spade, 

 and hoe as much as po?siblo to keep all plots clean, and destroy the large crops 

 of weeds that the autumn rains will bring up. Lay cabbages and broccolis that 

 are forward with their heads to the north ; fork over asparagus beds, and mulch 

 the crowns with rotten dung. Get cauliflower plants uuder hand-glasses, and pot 

 a few to keep in frames. 



FETTIT GAEDEN. 



New plantation of gooeeberries, currants, and raspberry bushes, may be made 

 towards the end of the month. Get the ground ready for fruit-trees that are to 

 be planted next month, let it be well drained and deeply trenched, but, unless 

 the soil is poor and exhausted, use no manure whatever ; pure loam is preferable 

 to an enriched soil, for all trees intended to bear early and live long. 



GBF.ENITOUSE AND STOVE. 



Eire-heat must be cautiously used in the treenhouse, so as not to push 

 things too fast. Remove the shading, give plenty of air, and whenever grocn-ily 

 or thrips appear, resort to effectual methods at once, and much future annoyanco 

 will be saved. Plants that are to bloom during the winter should have the best 

 place aa to warmth ; and if fires become necessary, lot thorn bo got up brisk, so 

 as to dry the house, and allow at the same time of a current of air. Reduce the 

 heat among pines, so as to keep them growing slowly. Be careful not to push 

 pines into too rapid a growth. Keep tho air very dry where grapes are hanging. 

 Bottom-heat for pines, 85°.
