MARCH. 



EDGING OF BORDERS, ^c. 



This is the proper time to plant eding for borders and 

 beds, viz. box, thrift, &c. In dry weather water them 

 till they are well rooted. 



GENERAL REMARKS. 



This is a good time to make grass walks. First level 

 and roll the ground — then cut sods of equal size and 

 thickness from a pasture, lay them neatly, and roll them 

 well or sow grass seed very thick, and rake it in and 

 roll the ground as soon as it is dry. Clean grass and 

 gravel walks : the latter may be dug, turning the top 

 to the bottom, which will destroy the weeds and moss, 

 roll them well afterwards. Weed all your flower borders 

 well, and prepare more for next month. Water your 

 seedbeds and young plants. 



GREEN-HOUSE. 



Many of the green-house plants will be now in 

 flower, such as lauristinus, coronilla, stock gilliflo we rs, 

 China roses, &c. These plants will require a regu- 

 lar supply of water two or three times a week, and 

 every mild day, plenty of air ought to be admitted. 

 This will make the plants flower strong and profusel3^ 

 You may also shift any that requires larger pots. 

 Cuttings of roses, myrtles, geraniums, coronillas, and 

 others, may now be struck in a moderate hot bed. 



APRIL. 



TURJ\1PS. 



Sow early Dutch turnip-seed on light ground, in a 

 warm situation, to come in next May. The ground 

 must be well dug and raked, and the seed raked in.
