HORTICULTURAL CALENDAR. 
probably be accounted fpr by the fine open weather of last winter not destroying either the eggs 
or larvae. Although many fruit trees have been partially stripped of their foliage by the larvae 
of moths, there are, upon the whole, as far as we have seen, good crops remaining. This is an 
important month to gardeners in sowing and planting several autumnal and winter crops, as 
well as those for next spring and summer, none of which will allow of any delay. 
FRUIT DEPARTMENT. 
Peach and Nectarine Trees, should be again looked over, and all superfluous wood taken off, 
the fruit will also require its final thinning as soon as the stoning is over. See p. 95, 481, and 529- 
Figs out of doors will now begin to ripen, for the general treatment, see p. 71, 95, 386. 
Currants and Gooseberries should be matted in dry weather to preserve them to a late time 
in the year. 
Strawberry beds in late situations now in bearing, may be occasionally watered if the wea¬ 
ther proves dry. This is also a good time to make new beds, p. 95, and 329. Those in pots 
intended for forcing should be constantly stripped of their runners, page 395. 
Budding may yet be performed if the bark rises well.
