HORTICULTURE.

FLOWER GARDEN.—Except where alterations are
in hand, there 'will be little requiring attention here at
present beyond the clearing up of leaves and putting
the borders, &c., into neat order for the winter. Get
this done, however, with the least possible delay, in
order that the place may be rendered trim and neat
and as enjoyable as the season will admit ; also sweep
and roll the walks frequently, so as to keep these clean
and smooth, for without hard dry walks pleasure
ground is next to useless at this period of the year.
Turf will also require rolling frequently to keep it
smooth and firm, and prevent its being disfigured by
warm casts. If any of the turf requires levelling take
advantage of any leisure time which may occur to get
this done.

FRUIT.—The tedious work of pruning and nailing
wall trees should be prosecuted with the utmost dis-
patch on every favourable opportunity. Trees infested
with scale should be loosened from the wall entirely,
the bark well scraped and painted with a mixture of
soft soap, cow-dung, and lime, taking care to well
work the composition into the crevices of the bark. If
any planting of young trees or removing of others has
still to be done attend to this at once. Get gooseberry
and currant bushes pruned on frosty mornings, or when
the ground is in a dry state, so that it will bear tread-
ing upon without injury. After pruning give the
ground among the gooseberry trees a good dressing
of lime, which we believe to be useful as a preventive
of their great enemy catterpillar. Also get whatever
manure may be necessary for the other small fruit
bushes wheeled on first favourable opportunity, and
get the ground dug so that it may look clean and
fresh. Where the raspberry grub is troublesome give
a good dressing of gas lime before digging the ground,
taking care to apply it regularly about the base of the
plants. The ground among fruit bushes should be
dug very lightly, especially in the case of raspberries,

which have their roots near the surface; and it
in all cases to dispense with digging where it ea
be done without injuring the strong roots.
at,
KITCHEN GARDEN.—The unusually fine dry yet
which we have experienced for some weeks P3'rk
been very favourable for getting on with theisc°
manuring and trenching in the kitchen gartiella;io
where this is backward it should be pushed for w
every favourable opportunity, until every spareo
ground is thrown up, so as to expose it to th.,er',l
of the weather. Be prepared with plenty of et.er
for celery, and endeavour to prevent its beitiri
by frost.—Gardeners' Chronicle.
