face hard and smooth by frequent rollings with a heavy
roller. This is a capital season for laying down turf,
and where levelling may be necessary, or any other
alterations involving taking up and relaying any
breadth of turf, this should be attended to as soon as
possible, for besides that there will be no trouble with
turf laid now in the event of dry weather setting in
early next spring, such work can be done more econo-
mically now and with much more comfort to the work-
man than after cold winterly weather sets in. No-
thing adds more to the comfort of a garden in win-
ter than hard dry walks, and where these incline to be
soft and greasy, a thin sprinkling of clean rather
rough gravel, put on when the walks are wet and well
rolled in, will be found to greatly improve them, and
this at a very trifling cost. Keep the surface hard by
frequent rollings, which will cause the water to run
off to the edges, instead of draining through the gravel,
as is the case where the surface is allowed to become
soft and spongy. Continue to clear the beds of their
summer occupants, as these become shabby, and re-
plant them with spring-flowering things. But where
the soil wants renewing this should be done before
putting in the spring-flowering things, for it is
generally a busy season when these are removed, and
nothing should be left to be done then which can be
done now. Plants which it may be desirable to lift
and winter for use next season again, cannot be safely
left out any longer, except where they can be covered
in the event of a sharp frost occurring suddenly. And
specimen fuchias, geraniums, &c., should be got into
safe quarters immediately frost is apprehended,

FRlllT.—Examine the stock of fruit in the fruit
room as frequently as circumstances will allow, and
remove any infected with decay at once, and keep the
room cool and dry. Where it is intended to plant any
quantity of fruit trees this season the preparation of
the ground, &c., should be proceeded with as expedi-
tiously as possible while it is in goodworkingorder. And
too much attention can hardly be bestowed on the
preparation of ground intended to be planted with
fruit trees. Be particularly careful to secure perfect
drainage, for a well-drained soil is essential to fruit-
fulness in all kinds of fruit trees, and it is worth while
to secure this even at a considerable expense. Where
the natural soil is not of a good quality for the kind
of trees to be planted, this should be partly removed,
replacing it with some good fresh turfy loam. Avoid
the use of rich stimulating manures, which do more
harm than good.

KITCHEN GdEDEN.—Carrots, parsnips, beet, &c.,
should be lifted when the ground is in good order, and
stored for winter use in a dry, cool place ; stack them
in sand to preserve them from shrivelling, &c. Spring
broccoli that may be growing very rank should be laid
down with the heads to the north, which will check
the over-luxuriant growth, and afford a better chance
of its standing a severe winter. In the event of sharp
weather being apprehended, a quantity of the most
forward lettuce should be placed under glass, and cau-
liflowers that are heading should also be removed to
where they can be protected from frost.—Gardeners'
