Vines. — Attention to be given to the yonng Vines in 

 pots that are intended for forcing, that they may not 

 become soddened, which would injure the yonng roots 

 considerably. Where netting or any other such material 

 had been fixed over the lights that open in houses con- 

 taining fruit, to prevent the ingress of wasps, it may be

 from their attacks. Mice are sometimes very trouble-

 house of Grapes in a short time if not prevented. Traps 

 should, therefore, be kept set, and every means used to 

 prevent their ingress from the garden. Cover the border 

 when the trees are planted outside, with a good coat of 

 fern or any other such material before they become satu- 

 rated and chilled by the autumnal rains, to be laid on 

 thickly in layers, beginning at the front of the border, 

 the whole to be covered with a thin layer of good straw, 

 and fastened down as a- thatcher does the slsaw on stacks.

 ranged, they will require but little beyond the ordinary 

 attentions of watering and regulating the admission of 

 air. Plants, when fresh surfaced, sometimes droop with- 

 out any apparent cause, which generally arises from the 

 roots being very dry ; the fresh soil absorbing most of 

 the moisture, and the water escaping between the pot 

 and ball of earth. This is usually brought on by surfacing 

 the plants when dry : as soon, therefore, as the conse- 

 quences are observed, the plants should be examined, 

 and sufficient water given to wet the bail of earth 

 thoroughly. 



Chrysanthemums. — Treat them without further delay 

 as advised in a late Calendar. An occasional and mode-
