GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR

THE WEEK.

(From the Gardeners' Gazette.)
Turn up every piece of vacant ground for new crops, and
manure it, if required, by digging it in.
Sow all kinds of annuals (for early spring blooming) with
a view to their being kept in frames during the winter.
Continue to get in all crops that are to stand over the win-
ter months, or for winter use. Hoe turnips that ate forward

enough.
Examine all plants in pots previous to getting them into
their winter quarters ; cut off any rambling shoots, tie them
all to proper sticks, and into proper form.
Pot all struck cuttings, and greenhouse and store-plants, in
proper sized pots, for placing in the houses.
Examine auricular, and see they are in a proper state of
drainage ; re-pot any that are pot-bound,taking away the off-
sets, and leaving only the principal new-bed plant. If
stock bs more desirable than strong plants, let the offsets
grow on the plants some weeks longer.
Look over the tulip-boxes to see that they are all dry and
free from the green or black fly ; and, if not, fumigate them
in a close apartment with tobacco smoke.
If any of our brother editors must take this article, which
they are perfectly welcome to do, we entreat them to acknow-
ledge where they got it from. We do not like to mention
names, but there are some very careless.
All operations mentioned in the last three or four weeks,
and not done, should be done directly.

THE VIVID.—This favourite steam-ship, under the
command of Captain Agars, arrived in Hull on Friday morn-
ing at twenty-five minutes past six o'clock, having made the
voyage in the incredible short space of twenty-two hours. In
consequence of which extraordinary quick passage all the pas-
sengers for Leeds, Sheffield, &c., proceeded by the Thorne
Selby steamers, and thus prevented a delay of twenty-four
hours in Hull, which the passengers by this vessel only avoided.

THUNDER STORM.—Hatfield and the vicinity were
on Thursday last visited by a tremendous storm of hail and
rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning. The:hail-stones

were of uncommon size. About four in the afternoon an
astounding clap of thunder shook almost every house in Duns-
croft, especially one detached cottage, so that the tiles ap-
peared to be loosened and falling from the roof ; the windows
rattled, and almost every glass and piece of crockery were put
