eeflar. Cabbages must be taken up and laid in rows 

 against a ridge, so as to form a square, compact, close-grow- 

 ing bed, the roots and steins being buried up to the lower 

 leaves of the Cabbages. The beds may be afterwards 

 covered with straw, or a temporary shed may be erected 

 orer them, Cabbages will keep for some months in a cellar, 

 if connected with their roots. For the management of 

 Broccoli and Cauliflower, see pages 40 and 108 ; Borecole, 

 Brusse's Sprouts, and Collards, may be taken up and 

 stowed away like Cabbages. Cardoons may be laid in like 

 Celery, or preserved in sand in a cellar. Leeks may be 

 taken up and laid in rows close together against a ridge, 

 and covered up as far as the lower leaves. If the last row 

 be protected from frost by a coat of stable dung, they can be 

 taken out when required for use. Corn Salad, Spinach, and 

 Lettuce, may be protected by a covering of straw, salt hay, 

 or cedar brush. For the management of Artichoke bed?, 

 see page 25 ; Asparagus, 29 ; Rhubarb, 79 ; Sea Kale, 83- 

 Dig up roots of Horse Radish in the manner recom- 

 mended last month, to preserve in sand, or graves, for use 

 when the ground is frozen arid ice-bound. Do the like by 

 Jerusalem Artichokes, which are now in their full perfection. 

 At the same time take up as many Parsnips and other 

 hardy roots, as will be required for use the next three 

 months.
