460 QUEENSLAND AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL. {1 Dexc., 1902. 
grass-collecting arrangement has been removed, and the grass is allowed to fall 
on the lawn and to remain there. It soon withers up, and becomes a protection 
to the grass, not being inthe least unsightly. The surface of the ground in 
beds and borders must be kept stirred to a depth of about 3 inches, and weeds 
must be fought. Do not let them seed. 
If you have a kitchen garden—and there is no reason why you should not— 
this is the month to begin operations. And if you have not a garden of vege- 
tables and herbs, you cannot make a better new-year resolution than to have one 
at once. A yery little one will keep you and your family in vegetables for the 
whole year round. The quantity of meat which is eaten in this country with- 
out the necessary accompaniment of sufficient vegetables is appalling. There 
is a Chinaman in Albert street, Brisbane, who has a few square yards of a 
garden, and out of that tiny patch he manages to get in the course of the year 
a supply of vegetables which, if they were all placed together, would make the 
owner of many a larger holding stare. The cottager who wants to start a 
vegetable garden may sow the following: —Beans, beets, broccoli, Brussels 
sprouts, cabbage, choko, carrots, cauliflower, celeriac, egg-plant, endive, lettuce, 
parsley, peas, radish, spinach, tomatoes, turnips, all sorts of pot herbs, mustard 
and cress at short intervals. Towards the end of the month make another 
sowing of these. You will find the watching of your seedlings, and the care of 
them in pricking them off and defending them against their insect enemies 
(which beset them even more persistently than in the case of flower seedlings), 
a most interesting occupation.
