A CALENDAR 



Flower Garden. — Give some special attention to-day to the 

 Roses generally, cutting off each flower immediately (or even be- 

 fore) it comes to maturity and assisting the trees in^any other way 

 which may tend to prolong bloom. 



SEPTEMBER 27 



Greenhouse and Frames. — Do not forget to make provision for 

 salads, which are always useful for the table. 



Vegetable and Fruit Garden. — Lift some more of the main crop 

 of Potatoes, not waiting for the complete dying down of the haulm 

 if the tubers are fully grown ; they will ripen as well, if not better, 

 when lifted and stored. 



Flower Garden. — Look to the Roses which have been budded 

 early in the season and release the ties which bind the buds, so as

 in the greenhouse and re-pot those which require it.

 storing the Potatoes, taking care not to bruise them.

 etc.
