MONTHLY CALENDAR. 205 



THE CALCEOLARIAS. Herbaceous Calceolarias must 

 be shifted from the small store pots into seven-inch 

 ones. Admit all the air possible every day, and fumi- 

 gate as soon as the green fly shows itself. 



THE POTATO HOUSE AND FRAME. Those Potatoes 

 that were planted in December will now be up where a 

 fire has been kept going ; move the surface a little 

 with a rake. 



THE EARLY PEA FRAME AND GLASSES. The Peas 

 will now be advancing apace ; dress them over with 

 the hoe and rake, and admit all the air possible every 

 day. 



THE ASPARAGUS PIT. The Asparagus will now be 

 moving; give an abundance of water and an occa- 

 sional watering with salt water. Protect from frost by 

 some dry hay or ferns, with a mat on the top. 



THE MUSHROOM HOUSE. The beds made in the 

 autumn will be getting exhausted ; make fresh ones, 

 and keep up a mild fire heat. 



SEA-KALE. The Kale will now be in full cut ; cut 

 it clean off close to the crown of the old plant, and 

 never let it be above six inches long ; then it will be 

 all good and fit for the table. Cut all clean from the 

 pot, and cover it again. Put a stick or long label with 

 the date on it when the Kale was cut, so that you may 

 know for the future. This will save the trouble of 

 searching in vain for the second cut. 



EHUBARB FORCING. The Ehubarb will now be 

 ready. Do the same as for the Sea-kale. 



THE CARROT FRAME. Thin the young Carrots out 

 and sow more. Admit air at all favourable times, and 

 protect from frosts.
