^f5IJT"HFRI\l Ourrfalendar simply aims to remind the reader 
^\Ji\J ■ rnt.ni^. of what may be done if the surrounding circum- 
stances be favorable— thus, for instance, in otu' variable climate, seeds which 
it is indicated may be sowu during the present month at Charleston, S, C, 
and I'tnnher South] it may be folly to commit to the earth by reason of the 
cold, u hicii must necessarily defer such work until a change of temperature ; 
or if it be dime during the cessation of extreme cold, the return of Winter 
weather, or an miseasonable frost, may in a single night destroy the labor of 
many days. The enterprising man is'not, however, to be deterred by fears, 
and if his.judgment leads him to take the risk of chances, he may act upon 
some of the following suggestions, if he resides south of the latitude of 
Charleston. 
Kadislie.s sow sparsely from time to time. A sparagiis-be<ls dress with 
compost and salt. This" latter, tliough an active stiniiilaut, may be safely 
given in heavy dressings to Asparagus, and has the further advantage of 
destroying weeds. H«r.se-radisl) cuttings put out. Feas sow at intervals; 
Bome may be frosted, but try it again. Kejid descriptions of approved varie- 
ties. I.,aii<lretlis' Karlu'si, Cabbag:e, A^\ the Year Kouiid. and Select 
KaHy Jersey Wakefield may be sown for Spring and early Summer use ; 
Blso the lilooinsdale Karly Market, a UHmderfuUti fine sort for early Summer 
use: the Keedland Early Driinibead and Flat Dutcb Cabbage may 
now be sown to come in still later; also the Early Dwarf t'Uit Dutcb 
Cabbage, a variety zoliich st/inds the nin, and wliich we can highly com- 
mend as possessing every good quality — thus keeping up an uninterrupted 
succession; Cauliflower, planted in the Autumn, will begin to head, and 
mayneed slight protection at this season ; Turnips for early crops sow. Also 
Bi-ets sow, also Carrots, Spinach, Parsley; all of which to be repeated 
next month; Onions hoe, also other hardy crops planted in Autumn as 
there directed: I>i>ttuce Vlants from Fall sowin.gs, tran.splant; Celery 
earth up as rc(|uired; Endive, which should now be in full growth, tie up 
to lilaneh, in small quantities oulv, as needed : plant Garlic, Shallots, and 
Onion Sets: sot out UnMock Hlood .Sets; Spinach, and Kosette Kale 
should bo sown. Sow seed of T. T. Tomato. Do not delay sending in your 
order— the only address necessary is Landreth, Philadelphia, Pcnna. 
MORTW F"Rf\J Next month will bring its labors, and we can 
' ^ ^ •» ' n t. n I . ^,„iy p,-ep;irc to forward them. It is pre- 
6iinic(l nil persons into whose hands this Catalogue is likely to fall are pro- 
vided ^\ itli tlial cheap and simjile means of enjoyment, a Hotbed, for 
forward ini: lender vegetables. Towards the close oflliis month seeds of Cab- 
bage, Canlidower, Tcnnalo, Egg I'Jant, anil Pepper may be planted in 
Hotbed; waieb tliem lest tliey suffer by frost, or, as it is not infrequently 
the case, from want of siillieient air as the weather becomes milder, when 
they will need also increased water. 
We can only speak iti general terms of the work which may be advan- 
tageously diinc now, pn paratory to the active season which approaches. If 
tools and impleinents are likiOy'lo be needed, the tlioiigli I ful man provides 
them in due. seasun ; overli.auls his stock of Seeds, and Jiiakcs out a list of
