DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. 



HINTS TO GARDENERS. 



"A Place for every thing, and every thing in its place" is an adage 

 generally more honored in the breach than in the observance: and 

 yet it is one which has a peculiar importance for the Farmer and Horti- 

 culturist. To have the tools belonging to a garden or farm so arranged 

 that the hand can be laid upon them at any moment, is always de- 

 sirable. It saves not only time, but it saves vexation, and very fre- 

 quently irreparable loss. We have prepared a diagram, which will 

 explain our meaning more clearly than words. The adoption of such a 

 plan will repay the cost and trouble, ten times over, in the course of a 

 single year.
