GARDENING. 
berries, kidney-beans, cucumbers* roses, 
&c. will now get fast forward ; but you 
must guard against frost, which would do 
great injury if your fires were neglected. 
MARCH. 
Kitchen-garden. Attend to your cucum- 
bers and melons; you may now sow the 
seeds of the later sorts ; such as the Smyr- 
na, the long green, and long white Turkey 
kinds. Make new hot-beds, to receive 
them when fit to transplant. About this 
time, your cauliflower-plants may be re- 
moved from the warm borders, and set out ; 
these will now occupy the beds of your spi- 
nach and radishes, which will soon be gone, 
and leave only the cauliflowers. Sow bro- 
coli for an autumnal crop ; also cabbages, 
some of which may now be transplanted. 
Sow savoys, and lettuces, also spinach, 
leeks, onions, borecole, radishes of sorts, 
carrots and parsnips, all on good soil, well 
prepared, and made very fine ; fork and 
dress up your asparagus, and plant out 
where wanted ; you may also sow some 
seed ; dress yonr artichokes, and plant out ; 
set beans for a full crop, also peas ; earth- 
up any that are grown sufficiently ; sow 
turnips for a full crop, also celery, small 
salad, and all the tribe of medical and pot 
herbs ; nasturtiums may be sown very early 
in this month ; capsicums should be in a 
hot-bed, and be set out as the weather 
grows warm, after they have four leaves ; if 
six, or eight, the better. Love-apples will 
require the same treatment ; kidney-beans, 
potatoes, and Jerusalem artichokes, should 
not be omitted. Set slips of rosemary, 
rue, chives, mint; and let your garlick, 
scallions, cardoous, &c. now be committed 
to the soil. 
In the Fruit-garden. Prune your fig-trees, 
and plant also where they are wanted ; if 
your wall-fruit trees have not been trim- 
med, lose no time in attending to them ; 
some will be in bloom, if the season fa- 
vours; cover such with mats at night, to 
keep the frost from injuring them. Fruit- 
trees in general may yet be planted out, 
but no time should be lost; and the borders 
in which they stand should now be well dug. 
Prune vines, and propagate by means of cut- 
tings. It is expedient to remark, in this 
place, that it has been recently proposed to 
graft vines upon elders at this season, under 
the idea of producing early fruit, and 
of giving the clusters more time for ripen- 
ing ; the suggestion is assuredly ingenious, 
and merits trial. Dress your straw-berries 
well, and run light wisps of straw at right 
angles under the foliage, so as to support 
the leaves, and to retain the moisture in 
the soil. Continue to force your early fruit, 
taking care to keep up fires every night. 
In the Flower-garden. You will find ample 
employment in setting out your early an- 
nuals, sowing tender annuals on hot-beds, 
and the more hardy sorts in warm borders. 
Fresh earth must be given to plants in pots ; 
the chrysanthems, auriculas, carnations, 
hyacinths, ,&c. will now demand care, as 
will all your curious flowers. Now plant 
anemones, and ranunculuses, and sow the 
fibrous-rooted annuals and biennials ; trans- 
plant perennials, prune your shrubs, hoe 
and rake your borders, dig where neces- 
sary, and clean your clumps ; plant deci- 
duous flowering shrubs, and forest-trees ; 
transplant your evergreens, remove roses, 
plant edgings and hedges, clean your gar- 
den wall, clear your gravel walks from rub- 
bish, lay your turf where wanted, and roll 
your lawns very smooth in dry weather. 
In the Nursenj. Graft on proper stocks, 
sow the seeds of deciduous trees and shrubs, 
propagate also by“ cuttings, sow hardy ever- 
greens ; weed the whole carefully, and wa- 
ter seedlings. 
In the Green-house. Moderate the heat by 
admitting fresh air in mild weather ; if frosty, 
or very cold, keep all shut close ; trim your 
orange-trees, myrtles, &c. into shape ; shift 
such plants as require larger pots, give fresh 
earth to the roots in general ; sow the seeds 
of exotics, and of oranges for stocks. 
In the Hot-lwuse. Your pines will begin 
to shew fruit; therefore keep up the heat, 
water these plants frequently 7 , and, in fa- 
vourable days, admit a little air. 
APRIL. 
Kitchen-garden. Keep up your hot-beds 
for cucumbers and melons, allowing the 
young plants air daily; give water occa- 
sionally, and remove decayed leaves ; if the 
sun is very powerful, put mats, &c. over 
your glasses ; impregnate the female flow- 
ers, by means of the fine powder on the an- 
ther® of the male blossoms, this will in- 
sure an early crop, and should be done on 
the day the flowers first open ; make hot- 
bed ridges, to receive the plants intended 
to be set out under bell or hand glasses ; 
sow melon and cucumber seeds for a late 
crop, plant out your lettuces, sow small sa- 
lading, radishes, turnips, spinach, kidney- 
beans, brocoli, onions, leeks, cardoons, car- 
rots, parsnips, pot-herbs, capsicums, love-
