Manure for hot beds should be looked after, and ought not to I 

 be over one month old. It should be thrown together In a heap, ; 

 and when heated forked over again, so the long and short ma- 

 nure will be well mixed. The first vegetables generally sown Id i 

 the hot beds are Cucumbers; it is best to start them in two or :

DECEMBER. | 



]N"ot a great deal is planted during this mon^b, as the ground is 

 generally occupied by growing crops. 



Plant Peas for a general crop ; some potatoes may be risked, 

 but it is uncertain whether they will succeed or not. j 



Sow Spinach, Eoquette, Eadisb, Carrots, Lettuce, Endive and 

 Cabbage. 



Early varieties of Cauliflower can be sov\^n in a frame or shel- 

 tered situation, to be transplanted in February into the open 

 ground. Early Cabbages, such as York, Oxheart and Winniug- 

 stadt, may be sown. 



To those who wisii to force Tomatoes, I will say that this is the 

 month to sow them. The best kind for that purpose is the Extra 

 Early Dwarf Eed. It is really a good acquisition ; it is very 

 dwarfish, very productive, of good size and bears the fruit in 

 clusters.
