GARDEN OPERATIONS.
MOWER GARDEN.

The collecting and storing of the fallen foliage of tress,
particularly from park timber trees, is an important
operation to be attended to at this season ; and it isms well
to detach as many hands as can be spared in order to get
over the operation quickly before the leaves become
embedded in the grass, or full of snails and other vermin,
which is often the case when they are allowed to lie long
on the ground either before or after nicht/ up. They are
so woeful in so many ways, in the hands of practical men
who know their value, that it is worth a little sacrifice of
time to gather in a good store. They are valuable for
mixing with stable manure for forcing purpopee, as they
serve to moderate the rank heat of the manure, and the
admixture retains heat longer than manure alone, which
soon burns Itself dry ; and as pure leaf-mould ls indispens-
able for potting purposes, a good store should be laid up to
decay for future use —Gerdy/use CAseiliele.
