CAULIFLGV/ERS. 



Ylants under frames must have air daily ; in fine 

 weather take the frames off every mor^^iin^, clear 

 away dead leaves and weeds, and put on the frames 

 at night ; those in open ground that have not flow- 

 ered must be put in a cellar to blow, covering the 

 roots with earth. 



ARTICHOKES. 

 Cut the leaves close to the ground, leaving only 

 the young shoots that rise from the heat of the 

 plant and the small central leaves ; proceed to heap 

 up the plants thus : Dig a trench betv*^een each row 

 of plants, lay the earth up on each side of the trench 

 to the height of six inches, leaving only the central 

 leaves, or hearts of the plants uncovered, so that 

 the earth thrown out of the trenches will form rid- 

 ges, between which will be the plants. When the 

 frost sets in, cover the trenches and ridges with, 

 long litter or straw, (about the depth of six inches,]) 

 lo preserve the roots and and crowns of the plants. 



POTATOES. 



Potatoes that remain in ground must be takeia 

 up early this month with a plough, hoe or spade^ 

 according to the mode of planting which was pur- 

 sued. Take them up in mild, dry weather, that the 

 earth may fall off them ; put them in a dry place anfi 

 cover them with dry straw to keep frost from them, 

 or bury them in a deep hole lined with straw : cov- 

 er the potatoes with straw and throw the earth over 

 them in the form of a roof Note — The hole shonU 

 he in high, dry ground, where the rain does not lodge^ 



PARSJVIPS, BEETS AND CARROTS. 



In dry, mild weather, take up carrots, parsnips^ 

 and beets; cut off the tops, clear the roots of earth/
