A YEAR'S GARDENING 



Vegetable and Fruit Garden. — lAH some of the Sea-kale for forcing, 

 removing it to a pit or shed where frost fcannot reach it. 



Flower Garden. — Put in any Roses you have ordered as soon as 

 they arrive. Exposure of the roots, especially in a cold, dry wind, 

 is most injurious to the plants. 



NOVEMBER i6 



Greenhouse and Frames. — Look to the Heaths and treat them 

 much in the same way as the Azaleas. (See 15th inst.) 



Vegetable and Fruit Garden. — Look to the Cauliflowers, and those 

 which are showing a fair head protect from frost with a light cover- 

 ing. Take up those which are sufficiently matured and store them 

 for future use out of reach of frost. 



Flower Garden. — Plant any Standard Briars which you may 

 need for future budding. 



NOVEMBER 17 



Greenhouse and Frames. — Let the CameUias have your special 

 attention to-day and consider whether they have the best situation 

 you can afford them. The buds should now be swelling and a cold 

 draught will often cause them to drop. 



Vegetable and Fridt Garden. — Trench a plot of ground for a new 

 bed of Asparagus to be made in the spring. 



Flower Garden. — Put in any Climbing Roses you have received. 

 An old stump or a withered tree will make an effective support and 

 good rambling space for a Crimson Rambler or a Dorothy Perkins, a 

 Paul's Carmine or an Aime Vibert. 



NOVEMBER 18 



Greenhouse and Frames. — Continuing your attention to the 

 CameUias, see that they are kept at as uniform a temperature as 

 possible (say, 45°) and water them sparingly. They do not need 

 such liberal food and water as the gross-feeding Chrysanthemum. 



Vegetable and Fruit Garden. — Look to the Gooseberry and Currant 

 bushes, removing any dead wood but deferring final pruning until 

 spring.
