A YEAR'S GARDENING 



Vegetable and Fruit Garden. — Lift and store some of the Jerusalem 

 Artichokes, in order that they may be at hand when inclement 

 weather or hard frost prevents their being dug up. The rest may 

 be lifted as required. 



Flower Garden. — Put in some roots of Lilies, planting rather 

 deep and in such a quantity as to form a good-sized clump, and 

 choosing a site where the soil is fairly rich loam. 



NOVEMBER lo 



Greenhouse and Frames. — Look out for earwigs among the 

 Chrysanthemums and set the usual traps. Be on the watch, also, 

 for caterpillars, searching for them after dark with a lantern and 

 destroying them. 



Vegetable and Fruit Garden. — ^Make a small sowing of Peas in a 

 sheltered and well-drained border, in soil that has been well dug 

 but not quite recently manured. 



Flower Garden. — If you still have any Tuhp bulbs not yet planted, 

 put them in to-day — ^it is not too late. Set deep and in a sunny 

 position. 



NOVEMBER ii 



Greenhouse and Frames. — The scarlet Salvias should now be com- 

 ing into bloom. Give them due attention, treating them much in 

 the same way as Chrysanthemums. {See 8th, gth and loth inst.) 



Vegetable and Fruit Garden. — ^Make, also, a sowing of Longpod 

 Broad Beans in a dry soil and sheltered from the north, if possible. 

 They may be put in rather close together with a view of transplant- 

 ing every other one in the early spring. 



Flower Garden. — Put in one or two clumps of Galtonia (Hya- 

 cinthus candicans), a plant which shows well in isolated groups 

 against a leafy background. Give plenty of room. 



NOVEMBER 12 



Greenhouse and Frames. — Look to the Chinese Primroses and try 

 and keep them hardy and robust by such ventilation and low tem- 

 perature as may be consistent with protection from frost, damp and 

 cutting winds.
