THIRTEENTH DAY 



Put coal ashes on the ground about the Peach 

 trees. Gather up all the stakes and poles and 

 place them in the tool house. 



FOURTEENTH DAY 



The Brussels Sprouts should be left standing 

 where they grew in the summer. Gather it 

 as it is needed for the table ; frost does not 

 injure it. Spinach can be taken up, roots 

 and all, and put in a pit or a box of sand, in 

 the same manner as the Celery. 



FIFTEENTH DAY 



When a young fruit tree makes great growth 

 of branches and produces no fruit, prune the 

 roots. To do this, dig a trench eighteen 

 inches deep around the tree, cut oflF the ends 

 of the roots with a spade, and place manure 

 at this point to preserve their health and 

 vigor. This is rather a dangerous thing to 

 do, but it is better to risk it than to have no 

 fruit.
