CALENDARIAL MEMORANDA FOR NOVEMBER. 
437 
As you cannot give your late potatoes the same exposure to the sun 
previous to laying up for the winter, bring them out as soon as you 
can in the spring, and let them be exposed to the sun till the time of 
planting. I particularly recommend every one to sow their own seed, 
as they cannot tell what they are buying if they go to market for them. 
I shall be glad at a future time to say more upon this subject.

CALENDARIAL MEMORANDA FOR NOVEMBER. 
KITCHEN GARDEN. 
Cauliflower. The young plants intended for next year’s service 
should be by this time in their winter quarters, and where they may be 
occasionally defended from frost. The Michaelmas crop is now yielding 
heads, and the forwardest will require attention lest they be unexpect¬ 
edly caught by a night frost. They should not be trusted in the open 
air after the twentieth of the month, unless the weather be very favour¬ 
able indeed. 
Peas. Sow a second crop of early peas, of the kinds and in the 
manner recommended last month ; it is also a good time to sow in pots, 
if any are intended to be so raised. See that mice or jays do not visit 
the first sowings; slugs are also to be guarded against, which, if the 
soil be not very compact, will devour the plants underground. 
Beans. Put in a succession crop of mazagan beans, and protect the 
former sowing as is advised for peas. 
Cabbage. Another piece of cabbage may now be planted, if enough 
have not already been put out. A single row of red cabbage may also 
now be planted, to come in early next summer for pickling. 
Spinach should be kept free from weeds, and properly thinned. 
Broccoli. The Cape sorts are now in use. Exposed heads may 
require similar care to that bestowed on Michaelmas cauliflowers. 
Celery should be now finally earthed up, not only to blanch but to 
defend it from winter’s frost and rain. 
Endive. Full-sized plants in the open ground may be blanched on 
the spot, if the weather be favourable, or removed into beds of dry 
sand, where they may be blanched in safety. 
Lettuce. Seedlings in frames, intended for transplanting in Janu¬ 
ary, should now be partially thinned, to allow each plant to become 
stocky; when they are suffered to stand too closely in frames, they are 
liable to be too much drawn and tender.
