there a patch of annuals sown amongst them likewise ; 
and if a few bedding-out plants can be had, they might 
also be allowed good places amongst the ruck, but beds 
naked from October till May cannot be tolerated in the 
small garden to which this chapter is directed; and 
probably, if it be a very small one, the whole of the 
plants enumerated below will not be able all to get 
places; and as it is imprudent to plant any of them 
nearer each other than eighteen inches, and the taller 
ones two feet or more, the cultivator will be able to 
know how many he can accommodate. Of courso, in 
planting, care must be taken to have the back row in 
long continuous borders, or the centre in beds of the 
tallest plants, and the dwarfest at the edge, as the Prim¬ 
rose, Hepatica, Anemone, Polyanthus, Auricula, Alys¬ 
sum, and many others, as well as the Crocus, Snowdrop, 
&c.; and if here and there a place be left for a Gera¬ 
nium, Calceolaria, Cuphea, and the like, they will add 
materially to the variety in autumn. Calceolarias, of the 
shrubby kinds, may be kept with very little trouble all 
winter. I think I have some two or three thousand 
that never saw the sun from the beginning of December 
till the last week in February; and lor more than a 
month never saw daylight; and yet there was very little 
loss amongst them, and tho plants now look middling 
well; but as these cannot be had now, the amateur must 
content himself with obtaining a few plants at tho 
proper time, and planting in his garden for stock to 
propagate from in autumn in tho way which will be 
explained hereafter.- 
The accompanying list of herbaceous plants may be 
extended at pleasure; but as it contains nothing but 
what is good, it will do for the amateur to begin with, 
and as everything is hardy, and of easy culture, there 
need be no fear of their succeeding.

FLOWER-GARDEN CALENDAR— April. 
If the beds and borders were all carefully dug over 
last month, and the places of each correctly marked, 
there will be little wanted now beyond preparing for 
what additional plants may be intended to put in next 
month of the more tender kinds, as Verbena, Geranium, 
Calceolaria; for some of these, however, and Dahlias, 
the earth must be improved by a foot of the old taken 
out, and fresh brought in, unless it be already very 
good. Annuals may also be sown in patches, which ought 
to be thinned as they show themselves; and cuttings of 
some plants may be put in towards the end of the 
month, as may be wanted. The Dielytra spectabilis is 
one of the most handsome plants we have, and the old 
wood, after flowering, cut up into lengths, makes excel¬ 
lent cuttings; while there is great advantage in having 
early slips of Heartsease, Alyssum, and the like; they 
strike so much easier than later in the season; but next 
month will do. Supposing all the hardy plants all in 
their places, the work of tho presont month will be 
merely routine, keeping the grass and walks in order, 
and everything else in that nice condition which en¬ 
hances so much the beauty of a place, whether great or 
small. 
KITCHEN-GARDEN —Arnn,. 
a. —This being mostly Strawberries, with a few Rasp¬ 
berries in a line between this division and c, but 
little is wanted doing now, as we expect the digging, 
or rather slightly pointing with a fork between the 
rows, was performed last month, as well as the prun¬ 
ing and tying-up of the Raspberry-canes; but little 
will, therefore, be wanted until the runners begin 
to make their appearance, which will not be this 
month. 
b. — A part of this may be planted with Cauliflower. If 
it was not done at the latter end of last month 
no time must now be lost. The same may be said 
of Potatoes ; as we advise only a few to be planted 
for home use in summer, an early sort is prefer¬ 
able. A space may be left in this compartment for 
another row, or more, of Cauliflower, to be planted 
out next month, but with that exception tbe wholo 
may be now planted. 
c. —This, liken, being under permanent crop, consisting of 
Asparagus, Sea-kale, Olobe Artichokes, and Rhu¬ 
barb, will require putting in order lor the season ; 
the top soil of the Asparagus-beds ought to be 
broken very fine by the first of the month. Sea- 
kale that has been covered up with dung in the 
forcing way, and done its work for tbe season, will
