Strain i for a fine day or two o dry th juj*e. 



With this early commencement, a yfi** or 



material importance compared with that of plou nm 



AT l t^Z 7-ible, however, in September, get in 

 ^o«r seed with the presW-drill ; or with some imple- 

 Lent which forms I firm-bedded channel in which to 

 "epos" the seed, grain by grain, a few inches apart. 

 Cover over with the crusher or rough-roller. I 7 



« 2 When the lines of Wheat appear above ground, 

 guard gainst the rooks, the lark, and the slug ; a trite 

 faction, but ever needful, especially here. And 8 



Sow, and at spring, and all through summer, watch for 

 the weeds and wage constant warfare against them 

 The battle may last for a year or two ; or m some foul 

 cases even more ; but, in the end, the mastery, and its j 



fruits, without fail, will be yours. «,.*_* 



The plant being now distinctly visible, dig the inter- 

 vals two spits deep ; increasing the depth year after 

 year till they come to 20 or 24 inches. Bring up at 

 first only 4 or 5 or 6 inches, according to the nature ot 

 the subsoil, whether tenacious, or loamy, or light lo 

 fcring up more at the outset would be a wasteful and 



Injurious expense. \ J 



" The digging is done thus : before proceeding with 

 the work, a "few cuts are made within 3 inches of the 

 Wheat,— the back of the spade being towards the rows. 

 A few double spits, first of all, at the required depth, are 

 then thrown out on the headland, and there left for the 

 present. After this, as the digging proceeds, the staple 

 is cast to the bottom, and the subsoil thrown gently on 

 the top. This process is carried on throughout the whole 

 interval ; at the end of which interval, just so much space 

 is left vacant as was occupied by the soil thrown out at 

 the beginning of it. In commencing the second interval 

 at that finished end, the earth is thrown out as at first ; 

 not on the headland, however, but into the vacant space 

 of the first interval. And so on all over the acre. J 



u 4. Late in winter and early in spring watch your «j 

 opportunity, in dry weather, before the roots of the 

 plant are laid bare, to press them with the crusher. 



"5. In the spring and early summer, stir the spaces __ 



between the rows as often as the surface becomes crusted J 1*^11 



over ; and move the settled intervals 4 or 5 inches deep 16 ° 



with the common scarifier, set first of all about 28 inches 

 wide ; reducing the width till it come by degrees to 24 

 and 18 inches. Continue the process, if possible, at the 

 last-named width, up to the time of flowering in June. 



u These operations are indispensable to full success ; 

 and, happily, can be carried on at little cost. For, while j I * 



the intervals of each acre can be scarified in 50 minutes, 

 the horse-hoe implement, covering two lands at once, 

 can stir between the rows in 25 minutes. 



" 6. Immediately the crop is carried, clean the inter- I 

 vals, and move them with the scarifier, in order to sow, 

 without delay, the shed grains. When these vegetate 

 and come up into plant, move the intervals again, 5 or 6 

 inches deep, and so destroy them. After that, level with 

 the harrow implement ; and the land is ready for the 

 drill. 



" 7. If anything occur to prevent the sowing early in 

 September, and to drive you to the end of October, set 

 the drill for a thicker crop. But, if possible, sow 

 early. For this reason ; tillered Wheat has a bad 

 name. But that has reference only to Wheat which has 

 tillered late in the spring. And certainly, in that case, 

 there is the fear of danger to the crop, and damage 

 to the sample. For, supposing no mildew to fall on it 

 even then the plant ripens unevenly • the early stems 

 fceing ready for the sickle, while the late-grown shoots 

 have scarcely lost their verdure. But, if mildew come, 

 when the straw is soft and succulent and porous, instead 

 of being, as it should be at that time, glazed and case- 

 hardened against its attacks, the enemy enters in and 

 checks the circulating sap ; and the end is, blackened 

 straw, hght ears, and shrivelled grain. Therefore, sow 



early. Let the phu*t tiller before winter. Give every ^.,._ u „ „. „ w « w 

 stem an equal start at spring. And then, with a strict ' p * ar *> Assert, p. dozV, 2s to 4 s

COTENT GARDEN, Oct. 18. 

 Peaches and Nectarines are about over for a season. English 



Pines are large and fine. Grapes are abundant. Dutch 

 Hamburghs are still imported in considerable quantities. 

 Pears are also brought from the Continent. The best English 

 kinds areGansel's Bergamot, Brown Beurre, and Marie Louise. 

 These fetch from 2s. to 4s. a doz., and 8s. to 12s. per half sieve. 

 Damsons are almost over St. Michael Oranges may still be 

 obtained. Nut? remain nearly the same as quoted last week. 

 Some Spanish ones have made their appearance. Carrots, 

 Turnips, Cabbages, &c, are sufficient for the demand. 

 Potatoes are generally good in quality. Lettuces and other 

 salading are sufficient for the demand. Mushrooms are scarce 

 and dear. Cut flowers consist of Heaths, Pelargoniums, 

 Mignonette, Heliotropes, Stephanotis, Bignonia venusta, and 

 Roses.
