Make sowings of Patna Pea. A 



Commence sowings of Cauliflower, Cabbage, Knol-Kohl, and

 under a hoogla, in order to have plants well forward for putting 

 out in the open ground as soon as the Kains are over.

Peach- stones sown now will come up in February, and afford 

 stocks for budding upon in August. 



Prune away the lowermost leaves of Cocoa-nut trees. 



ORNAMENTAL PLANTS. 



Sowings of German Aster, Heartsease, and Cineraria should 

 be made this month, as these plants take a long time to mature 

 for blossoming favourably. 



At the beginning of this month sow Balsams.

 now be moving. They should be potted and brought to the 

 light immediately they appear above ground.
