THE GARDENE

soon as they are taken up let their roots, be pruned, andafterwards planted in tows twelve inches, asunder*

Propagate foiverhrg Shrubs by Cuttings.

Honey-suekles, laurels, and Bertugal laurels, and.many other forts of hardy ifarubs and. trees may be raisedfrom cuttings, and this is the proper season for planting•them.

Let the cuttings be chosen from the last summer’sshoots, about ten or twelve inches in length, and plantedin rows two inches asunder, and about eight inches apartan the rows.

The cuttings of laurel, and Portugal laurel, shouldhave about two inches of the former year's wood withthem.

Plant Pox Edgings.

This is the best time of the year for planting boxredgings; for the box will now take root freely.

If you intend your edgings should be neat, procure asufficient -quantity of short bushy box, which must beslipped or parted, and the long sticky roots cut off.

Your box being thus prepared, stretch your line alongthe edge of the bed or border, and Jet that part be madeup all the way pretty firm and full ; then with yourspade cut a trench about six or eight inches deep on thefide of the line next the walk, making the side next theline perfectly upright.

Work to be done intheKiTCHEN-GARDEN.

Cauliflower Plants.

B EMEMBER to let the air have free access toyour cauliflower plants set in frames, every day,by taking the glasses entirely off the frame in the morn-ings, except' the weather be extremely wet, whenthe lights must be raised a considerable height, but nottaken away. But let the plants be covered everynight.

Whenever you perceive any dead leaves upon yourplants, let them be taken away ; and be sure to keep thebed perfectly free from weeds.

The fame treatment will be necessary for your cauli-flowers under hand or bell-glasses; and it will be ofgreat service to the plants, if a little earth be drawn upround their stems.

• You may yet plant out cauliflower plants under handor bell-glasses ; but let it be done at the beginning ofthe month, and the sooner the better.

Beans.

If you omitted to plant beans last month, for an earlycrop, let it be. done at the beginning of this: but ifsome w^re planted at that time, and these are intendedto succeed them, they should not be set till about thelatter end of the month.

The mazagan bean is the most proper for planting atthis season, because it comes in the soonest, is . a greatbearer, and very good for the table.

T'3 KALENDAR.

In this trench let the box be set close against theside next the line, placing the plants so near to-gether, as to form a close compact edging, withoutbeing too thick and clumsy; and as you proceed inplanting, draw the earth up to the outsides of the plants,which will six them in the proper position. When therow is planted, let the top be cut as neat and even aspossible with a pair of sheers.

Plant Thrift Edgings.

This is also a very proper time for planting thrift;and the fame method should be followed in plantingthrift as in planting box. The plants, if the edging beintended to be neat, should be set so close as just totouch one another.

Mow Grafs-Walks and Lawns.

If the grafs of your walks and lawns be not well cutat this season, they will appear very rough all the winter;let your walks and lawns, therefore, be now mown asclose and even as possible.

It will also be often necessary to poll your grafs-walks, in order to scatter the worm-easts, and then toroll them with a wooden roller. For the worm-casts be-ing broken, and spread abroad by means of the poll,will readily stick to the rollers, and consequently give thesurface of the grass a clean and neat appearance.

M B E R.

You must remember to plant your beans in a warmborder, under a south wall, or other fence, and tofollovrthe instructions given in October.

Peas.

About the middle of this month, you should sow an-other crop of peas, if a regular supply for the table bedesired. But if none were sown in October, they ssiouldbe sown in the beginning of the month.

The early hot-spur is the most proper for sowing atthis season ; and it must be done in the manner directedlast month, under a south wall, or other fence.

Sow Carrot-Seed.

Let a little carrot-feed be sown, in a warm border, atthe beginning of this month ; for there is reason to hopeit will succeed, and produce young carrots for the tableearly in the spring, when they will be very agreeable.

Take up Carrots and Parsnips.

Your carrots, parsnips, and other kitchen-roots, ssiouldbe taken out of the ground in the beginning of thismonth, and laid in sand for winter use.

For if these roots are suffered to continue in th?ground, they will canker and rot: besides, if the frostssiould set in severely, the ground would be so hard,that it would be difficult to take up the roots whenwanted.

Let, therefore, the advantage of a dry mild day betaken for digging up the roots, the tops of which mustthen be cut off close, the whole roots well cleaned from

earths
