ladies' flower gardener. 



Dig up and part the roots of all flowers which require so doing, 

 and replant them. 



Plant cuttings of honeysuckles, laurels, &c. 



Take up the roots of dahlias, and put them carefully away till 

 May. 



Trim evergreens. 



Plant box edgings ; cut away the long, sticky roots, and trim 

 the tops even. 



Mow grass walks and lawns, and weed gravel walks. 



NOVEMBER. 



Prepare compost for a new year by raking dead leaves, soil, 

 sand, &c., in a heap, to turn well over occasionally. Pour the 

 brine, soap-suds, &c, from the house over it. 



Transplant still all hardy kinds of flowering shrubs, suckers, &c. 



Clear the borders from dead annuals, leaves, stumps, &c. ; 

 shelter the choice bulbs and double-flowering plants. 



DECEMBER. 



Take care of every thing. Protect the more delicate roots 

 from severe frost, by strewing ashes, sand, or litter over them. 

 Prune shrubs, and dig between them. 



If the weather is open, you may still plant hardy sorts of 

 flowering shrubs.
