102 OPERATIONS OF GARDENING. PART I. 



Yams are now fit to be taken up for use. 

 Plant out Onion-bulbs for obtaining a crop of seed from in 

 April. 



Take up Mint and plant it in a fresh soil, well enriched. 



FRUITS. 



By the end of this month it is well to lay open the roots of 

 Mangos, and also of Peaches, Plums, and Grape-vines, and to 

 withhold water entirely, in order to accelerate the fall of the 

 leaf and the ripening of the bearing wood. 



ORNAMENTAL PLANTS. 



This is the best season for putting down -cuttings of all kinds 

 of Koses, and indeed of most exotics natives of a colder climate. 



The several species of Canna may now be dug up, parted, 

 and planted in fresh ground. 



December. 



VEGETABLES. 



Make sowings of Kadishes, Mustard, Cress, Lettuce, Peas, 

 and French Beans for succession. 



Put out fresh plants of Knol-Kohl, Cabbage, Cauliflower, and 

 Celery. 



The most advanced crops of Celery will be now in a condition 

 for earthing up to blanch previous to use. 



Water well Celery, Squashes, Kadishes, and Asparagus seed- 

 lings. 



Withhold water from old Asparagus plants, that they may die 

 down and go to rest. 



FRUITS. 



Gather Koselle. 



Well water Cape Gooseberries. In the North- West Provinces 

 the plants should be covered in at night during the Cold months, 

 or they will be much injured by the cold, and the fruit will not 

 ripen. 



Place seedling Bilimbis in a warm sheltered place daring the 

 Cold months.
