 and housing of onions, seeds, &c., earth up celery, cardoons, take up 

 and house potatoes, cut onion seed. 



Fruit Garden. — Propagate by layers and cuttings, gather and store 

 keeping fruit as it ripens or is fit ; net grapes, bag the best in bags of 

 gauze, crape or bunting. Keep all trim on the wall-trees ; thin the 

 leaves (but not too much) where they impede the rays of the sun 

 from the fruit 3 prepare ground for planting fruit-trees.

Forcing Ground. — The observations of last month are applicable

 regards forcing 3 the same may be said of the succeecHng month and 

 November, except that in November preparations may be made for 

 forcing asparagus and sea cale, this month, however, is a good time 

 for making mushroom beds. 



Green-House. — Ha I we smell winter here. General management 

 the same as last month. The more tender plants should now be taken 

 in the first week ; it is better to be too early than too late 3 and if 

 surprised by frost, the effects are woeful. The whole should be housed 

 by the end of the month as a measure of prudence.

 lettuces in frames for spring planting. Manure well, and plant the
