 should now be lost in getting the main crops out of the ground, 

 and drying them partially before storing them past for the 

 season. The best remedy I have found for preventing the 

 Carrots being spoiled and disfigured by worms, is taking them 

 early out of the ground. Routine-see former Calendars.— Ii.t. 



VII.— COTTAGERS' GARDENS. 

 As was stated last week, advantage should be taken of favour- 

 able weather like the present for digging op Potatoes, Carrots, 

 Parsnips, Beet-root, fcc, where these are ready for lifting, 

 •which will be indicated, in the case of Potatoes, by the hamm 

 becoming withered, and the tubers parting readily from the 

 root. These crops, when got up during dry weather, and stored 

 away in a dry state, not only keep much better, but the ground 

 is not injured by the operation of lifting, which is the case when 

 they are taken up in wet weather, especially in stiff clayey soils. 

 In various parts of the country it is customary to pit Potatoo 

 in some convenient place, and after covering them with straw, 

 a layer of earth is thrown overthero sufficiently thick to keep out 

 frost; but the best method, perhaps, for a cottager, is to store 

 them up in a dry dark shed or cellar, where they will be secure 

 from frost, and where they may be turned over occasionally 

 when they begin to sprout. Carrots, Parsnips, and Beet-root 

 keep well packed in sand or ashes in a dry room or cellar. A 

 friend writes, " I choose a sunny day in October for taking up 

 these roots, which I allow to remain in the open air till the 

 evening, when I house them in some dry shed or stable for 

 three or four days, leaving the green heads attached. Pre- 

 viously to packing them, I cut the tops off within half an inch 

 of the crown, and store up the roots in a dry place with alter- 

 nate layers of sand. In this way they keep sound and good for 

 many months. Care must, however, be taken to separate the 

 bruised roots from those that are perfect, and the sand in which 

 they are packed cannot b e too dry."— J. M' H.

 principal check upon their increase. R.— Jasper Stohe*.-

 necessity of transmitting perfect specimens; those you sent 

 were so mutilated by the post, that it was impossible to deter- 

 mine the name of tile Bee or of the other fly which £d£ V

 bricks and tiles laid in the frame, and may he thus easily col-

plants.*. Rusticus.-We have long entertained your 



opinion as to the evils arising from the cropping of and. No 

 doubt that insects become more firmly established where their 

 neculiar food never fails them. It is also, I believe, ascer- 

 tained that nitrate of soda, ammonia, &c, will cause certain 

 noxious insects to desert land, and such has often been inti- 

 mated in our Essavs ; but to what extent it is for the prac- 

 tical cultivator to determine. R.-M. A. -No doubt the larva 

 of the Fern-fly (Anisoplia horticola), are destroying your 

 Grass-turf at this time, and as we are writing an article upon 

 the subject, we hope next week to give you and Ullswater 



all the information we have collected.*. Guichenet.—lhe 



spiders' eggs are inclosed in a cottony ball in the autumn, 

 and hatch in the spring.*. 

 Late Dahlia Show.— G. Jl/.— We will have nothing to do with 

 the person of whose conduct you complain. If your state- 

 ment is correct, you were ill treated ; but you should not 

 have exposed yourself to it. Why do you come in contact 



with such people > 



Mildkw.— A. M. S.— Your Rose is attacked by the common 

 white mildew. Washing well with lime-water has been 

 recommended, but we can hardly promise you much success. 

 You had better cut off the worst parts and burn them, and 

 then you will not find your plants much the worse next year. 

 The cause of its appearance has no doubt been the very dry 

 weather, which has stunted the growth of the Rose, and 

 enabled this parasite to take possession of it.

New Holland Cedar.— Quercus.— The wood called by this 

 name, which looks like soft mahogany, and in become 

 fashionable in pewing of churches and chapels, is produced 

 by Flinder.sia australis, or some such plant. 

 Pears. — Tovep. — When Pears separate so very readily from 

 the tree, they require to be gathered. The variety, Hacon's 

 Incomparable, will become mature in the cour-e ot three 



months after gathering.II E. S. — Marie Louise is a good 



dessert pear to plant as a standard. B 

 Pelargoniums.— Witham Cross.— We see nothing the matter 

 with your leaves. They are getting a little yellow towards 

 winter, that is all. Give them in winter as low a temperature 

 as you can, so as to be sure that frost does not touch them, 

 say 38°. A little frost will not hurt Rhododendron arbo- 

 reum, but it is better without it ; house it now ; pot it in one 

 part loam, one silver sand, and three parts peat, mixed with 

 a little cow-dun^. We have not tried Potter's guano for 

 such things. A. Riall, &c— All the treatment which Pelar- 

 goniums for planting out in spring require during winter, is 

 to store them up, four or five plants together, in pots or 

 boxes. They may be put into almost any kind of soil in a 

 rather dry state, and placed under a greenhouse stage or in 

 any other place where they may have a little light, and be 

 kept drv and free from frost. t 

 TixES.—Guichenet.—A few years since, the French knew nothing 

 of Pine-growing ; but now they cultivate the Iruit abundantly 

 for the Paris market. Versailles Pine-growing is excellent, 

 and has been formerly described in our columns. Then- 

 Cayennes have weighed 12 lbs. 

 Plantains.— Balgan.— Incessantly annoy them by cutting off 

 their heads, and die they must. But if you are negligent, 

 and give them breathing time, they will spring up again, and 

 laugh at your irregular efforts. Some people put salt on 

 them when wounded, and it is not a bad plan. As to the 

 holes left by cutting them up— why, fill the holes up again. 

 If that little labour alarms you, it is useless to think of oppos 

 in*- such a troublesome, but not formidable enemy. 

 Potatoes.— Anon.— The best mode of storing Potatoes, where 

 quantities are required to be occasionally taken out for use 

 during winter, is to form them into a long ridge, from north 

 to south, covered well with earth, and in proceeding make a 

 few partitions with son. When the haulm is withered Potatoes 



may be taken up.fi * m,A— 



Potter's GuANO.-^o».-This may be applied to a kitchen
