CALENDAR FOR THE MONTH. 
Hardy. Fruit.—Doubtless,. this is. the best time for removing and 
replanting large fruit-trees, either, to fill. vacancies, or merely lifting 
them to induce fruitfulness ; the, latter is.most applicable to Pear-trees 
that are) making. strong growth, or for the.object.of keeping the. roots 
near the surface, where the subsoil is. unfavourable to the health of the 
trees. . Every, kind of fruit-tree. may now be planted. with advantage, 
and in the renewal. of. wall-trees, if the border is old, it should be well 
trenched, to its full width,.and fresh: loam. from a pasture added as the 
work proceeds. , Avoid strong manures, but after the trees are planted 
the surface should be mulched, to. encourage: them to root at. once. 
Secure standard trees to stakes after planting. Go over Peach and 
Nectarine trees with a soft broom to remove the ripe leaves, for the 
purpose of admitting sun and air to ripen the wood. All other fruit- 
trees that have shed their leaves may now be pruned, and if they are 
infested with any scale or Moss, they should be painted over with a 
mixture of soft soap and tobacco-water before they are nailed. Strong 
lime-water will, destroy Moss. Look over the fruit. store often, and 
remoye all decayed fruit. . Give air till the sweating process is over, 
after which time the room should be closed. Some kinds of Pears are 
improved in flavour by placing them in a warm room or vinery a few 
days before they are used. Any late Apples or Pears remaining on the 
trees should be gathered at once. Forcing Ground.—lf early Aspa- 
ragus is required, the roots should now be lifted and placed in a frame 
or forcing-house where a moderate heat can be maintained. Place the 
roots thickly together, and cover with six inches of light soil or leaf- 
mould; keep the frame close till the heads begin to appear. Roots of 
Seakale may also be taken up and placed in a gentle heat, covering the
