GARDENING OPERATION'S FOR

THE WEEK.

(From the Gardener's Gazelte)

Cover CRYSANTHEMUMS whenever it is desirable
serve their bloom, as those in pots when you have no room
to house them. This may be done by hoops or any tem-
porary frame wort-, and mats.
C.nuplete taking up DAHLIAS. Let small stock cuttings
b preserved in a growing state, and those which have
firmly rooted must be protected from the slightest frost.
Our conjuring printer recommended potting instead of
pitting the dahlia, though he could describe the depth of
the pit. •
Drers STRAWBERRY beds with an inch of good rich
(o.npast or decayed vegetable mould ; it will refresh tl.e
plants and greatly assist the crop.
Plant TuLtes ; it will be found a good plan to lay the
soil even, to place heaps of sand on which to plant the tulip,
to cover each bulb vlith sand, and then carefully to place
from three to four inches of soil above the crowns. It is
better than dibbling by far, for it only burdens the soil,
make; a sort of lodgment for wet, and is otherwise mis-
chkvous. In arranging a bed of tulips, the most effective
and beautiful method is o have three duplicates in each
row ; CIA is, let one and seven be the same, two and six
the sane, three and five the same, and the centre one com-
pletes it. Oa lookin!, at a bed Cats formed the effect is
beautiful, brqh sides being alike.
Keep Aunteut. ks dry, and give all the air oa dry d
If PINK fe !s are not yet formed, it should be done di-
rectly, and s me light litter or s'rAw will protect the soil
from the frost till the roots take hold ; but it is full late.
