NOTES FOR FEBRUARY. 
The success of gardening operations through the ensuing 
season will depend very much upon the careful and active 
performance of the routine duties that this and the following 
months will require. Successional sowings of Peas, Radishes, 
and Lettuces to he made, and Spinach between the rows of 
Peas, and a good breadth of Broad Beaus, which will pro¬ 
duce a more abundant crop planted now than at a later 
period, and a small bed of Brussels Sprouts for early planting; 
also Cahhayes of sorts, a few Carrots, Turnips, and Parsley 
for transplanting one foot apart. Plantations of Cahhayes 
that were pricked out in beds in the autumn to he made; a 
pan of Celery to he sown for early use, and the early Po¬ 
tatoes intended for seed to he spread out very thinly on 
any dry floor or shelf, where they will make strong, healthy 
buds for planting towards the end of the month, or the 
beginning of March, in a sheltered situation. The ground 
to be deeply trenched and richly manured for planting Sea- 
kale, Rhubarb, and Asparagus next month, and a good breadth 
of Parsnips to he now sown on ground deeply trenched, with 
the manure at the bottom. As the seedling plants of Cauli- 
jloivers and Lettuces in frames are very apt to damp off at 
this season, it is advisable to sprinkle some dry wood ashes 
or dry sand amongst them to absorb the moisture, and if 
too crowded to he thinned out to prevent them fogging off. 
The Cauliflowers that had been kept in pots to be planted 
out, four plants under each handlight, in a warm, sheltered 
situation. 
As the Bourbon China and Tea-scented Roses will flower 
throughout the summer and autumn months, and will
