A YEAR'S GARDENING 



Vegetable and Fruit Garden. — Look to the Celery bed, and if it 

 appears over-saturated with rain, cut a trench for an outlet of 

 the water. Excessive moisture, especially when followed by frost, 

 will certainly damage the crop. 



Flower Garden. — If you still have any bulbs on hand, get them 

 in without delay to fill up odd spaces. 



NOVEMBER 28 



Greenhouse and Frames. — See to the renewed of the hot-beds and 

 make an adequate provision of fermenting material for use, as re- 

 quired, in the way of re-making and re-lining the hot-beds and as 

 protection for the frames. 



Vegetable-and Fruit Garden. — Look to the wall-trained Fruit trees 

 and do such autumn pruning as may be necessary. Gently loosen 

 the soil around the roots and give a light mulching of manure for 

 some distance from the main stem. 



Flower Garden. — Look to the beds in which the spring-flowering 

 bulbs are planted, and if, through mild weather, the growth is un- 

 usually forward, protect the beds with loose litter of some sort. 



NOVEMBER 29 



Greenhouse and Frames. — Continue the work of re-making and 

 preparing material for the hot-beds and frames. 



Vegetable and Fruit Garden. — Give attention to the beds where 

 crops are standing, such as Turnips, Spinach, Cauliflowers, Broccoli, 

 Cabbages, etc. Keep the plots clean and well hoed. 



Flower Garden. — Give particular attention to the lawn with a 

 view to deciding whether some worm-killer is required. If the grass 

 is soft ahd sticky and disfigured with a multitude of worm-casts 

 apply Carter's Worm Killer. 



NOVEMBER 30 



Greenhouse and Frames. — Look to your supply of compost and. 

 make such addition as may be necessary. An adequate and securely- 

 stored supply may make the difference between success and failure 

 when pressed for time in potting up seedlings.
