main to be added. If there is any part therein described 

 omitted, have it done forthwith : every day increases 

 the danger of severe weather. If there are doubts of 

 any plants or shrubs not standing without some light co- 

 vering, it is best to err on the side of safety. Valuable 

 plants on walls, and in danger of being destroyed, it is 

 advisable to be at the expense of having a frame made to 

 surround them, and cover the same with oil-cloth. The 

 frame thus covered, should be taken off in mild weather, 

 and replaced again when necessary, causing very little 

 trouble; and, if properly taken care of, will last many 

 years. Coverings of any construction, and of the same 

 material, would answer for any part of the garden, and are 

 the best in our opinion that could be adopted.
