GAEDEXLYG OPERATIONS FOE THE WEEK. 
KITCHEN GARDEN. 
Beoccoli. —Plant out the last crop one foot and a 
half or two feet apart every way. 
Cabbage. —Plant ont plenty of the main spring 
crops; the small dwarf sorts at eighteen inches, and 
the larger sorts at two feet apart. To economise space, 
a double quantity may be planted in the rows, and 
every other one thinned ont in the spring. Plants of 
the August sowing to be pricked ont into nursery- 
beds three or four inches apart. To be watered, if the 
weather is dry. 
Caulifloweb. —When the plants of the August 
sowing have leaves an inch or an inch and a half 
broad, prick them ont three or four inches apart into 
nursery-beds, watering, and occasionally shading from 
the midday sun, until they have made fresh roots, and 
more stocky growth for planting under handglasses, 
Ac., in October. 
Celebt. —Freedom to the foliage should be allowed, 
to produce luxuriant growth, which is counteracted by 
frequent earthing-up, when a weakly attenuated growth 
is the result. When the operation is performed, the 
earth should be carefully closed round the stalk with 
the hand. 
Coen Salad. —Sow in drills six inches apart. This 
is a useful ingredient for salads during winter, when 
the outer leaves only are used, when quite young. 
Endive. —Lay a tile, slate, or board, upon each 
plant, or tie them up for blanching when they are 
quite dry. If particularly required, another plantation 
may be made. 
Hebbs (Aromatic). —The decayed flower-stalks to 
be cut down, and the plantation cleared of weeds. The 
roots to he divided, if an increase is required: and the 
tops, if not done before, to be dried for keeping. 
Lettuce. —Sow without delay, if not done, as ad¬ 
vised last week. 
AIusheooms. —Dung should be prepared for beds, 
that may be made either in sheds or m the open air. 
Collect moderately-fresli horse stable-dung into a heap, 
picking out all the long straw and litter, and turning 
it over in a dry place, or where protected from rains, 
every three or four days,until the rank steam has passed 
away, and the whole is in a mellow condition, when ii 
will be fit for making into beds. 
Onions. —Sow, if not yet done, to stand the w inter. 
Potatoes.—I f the haulm is withered, the sooner 
they are taken up the better; for i( sometimes hap¬ 
pens that a second growth is made in showery weather, 
by which their flavour is deteriorated. 
Tomatoes.— Gather, when ripe, tor soups, and the 
young green fruit for pickling. 
FRUIT GAKOKN. 
Vines.—G ive them the benefit of the sun, to npcn 
the fruit, by removing all unnecessary or ill placed 
shoots. 
Vah Hi h>? AT." s Tezzs.—C ut out azv late after- 
shoots, or any that overtop or extend sidewavs bevond 
their proper bounds. Train in ill shoots close" and 
regular, to ripen the wood and all Are fruit.
