GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE ENSUING
WEEK.
(From the Gardener's Chronicled

KITCHEN GARDEN AND ORCHARD.
In-door Department.
PINERT.—Where suckers and crowns have been struck on
a dung hotbed, some of them may have filled their pots with
roots, and will consequently require to be sorted out and re-
potted ; afterwards they may be set in the houses or pits,
where they can have more room to grow. A. brisk bottom-
heat must be applied to the crowns and suckers which have
not yet formed roots, taking great care that they do not
suffer from too much moisture. If there is much drip in the
frame, raise it at the back to give the lights a greater pitch.
Where leaves are not used to supply bottom-heat, a suffici-
ent quantity of fresh bark should be got ready for the re-
newal of tho beds against winter. The pits should now be
regularly covered at night, observing to let the plants have
light early in the morning.
VlNERY.—Whenever the atmosphere is foggy and damp,
fire should be made in those houses containing ripe grapes,
not for the purpose of warming but of drying the interior air.
It will be better, therefore, to set the fires on every damp
day, at the same time giving plenty of air, when that can be
done without letting wet into the house. Many berries will
be found damaged by wasps and flies, and these should be cut
out whenever they are observed, lest by rotting on the branches
they contaminate the others.
PEACH-HOUSE.—Before wet weather sets in, the sashes
should be put upon the house intended for early forcing; af-
terwards the trees may be pruned, dressed with the compo-
sition formerly described, and tied to the trellis, at the first
convenient opportunity.
FIG-HOUSE.—Unless there happens to be ripe fruit of the
second crop yet remaining upon the trees, the foliage should
frequently be washed with the engine, to remove, if possible,
every trace of red-spider. Trees in pots should be prepared
for early forcing, by shifting, if that process is required, or
by top-dressing with rich soil.
CUCUMBERS AND MELONS.—Fire-heat should be applied
to late Melons in wet and dull weather, to assist the swelling
of the, fruit, and prevent canker. In fine days give air
liberally to these and to growing Cucumber plants, shutting
them up warm and covering the pits at night. Stop the main
shoots of the plants intended for winter fruiting, that a
sufficient number of laterals may be obtained to cover the
trellis.
Out-door Department.
ARTICROKES.—These in all likelihood will throw up heads
in abundance now, having in many places been prevented by
drought from producing the usual crop earlier in the season
a good stock might therefore be obtained to dry for "bot-
toms," which make au useful' dish in winter when green
vegetables are scarce.
Bnoccom—lf the transplanting is concluded, the stand-
ing plants should be cleared of dead and broken leaves, and
earthed up till they stand firmly enough to resist strong winds.
CAULIFLoweas.---Continue to prick out the largest plants
till a sufficient number are obtained for the earliest spring
crop.
CARROTS should be taken up, dressed, and stored away in
a dry shed. When left too long in the ground, they often
throw out innumerable fibres, to the great detriment of the
roots.
ENDIVE.—The plants from the last sowing will now be
large enough for transplanting at the foot of some of the
walls, where they are not likely to be disturbed by the re-
moval of the wall-trees.
MUSTARD AND CRESS should be sown under glass after
this time, as a supply cannot be depended upon from the
open ground.
ONIONS.—Hoe among young plants, and continue to dry
and house those from the last spring sowing.
to POTATOES.—Take these up as soon as the haulm begins
to wither; in some soils they are much injured by grubs at
this time of the year.

thisyear than
the well-keeping Apples and Pears depends materially
upon careful gathering and storing. Reject all that are grub-
eaten or otherwise damaged, for if such are taken into the
fruit-room they will cause much unnecessary trouble by-and-
by in sorting, &e. Dress Strawberry plantations before
winter, by cutting off the runners and weeding among the
plants. New plantations of Gooseberries and Currants may
be made now.

UNITED STATES.
By the arrival of the Warspite, with Lord Ashburton,
papers of three days later date than those brought
ticket have been received. Their contents relate
chiefly by the ht' so American
t
dinner given to his lordship at New York.
whatever may be the difference of opinion in England on the
subject of the recent treaty, it seems to have created a ge-
neral feeling of approbation throutchout the United States,
and Lord Ashburton has been everywhere received in the
most enthusiastic manner. His reception at New York was
flattering in the extreme. At the Civic-hall between 2,000
and 3,000 citizens were introduced to him, and at Astor-house
he was entertained at a public banquet, which is described as
one of the most important and interesting fetes ever given in
that country. Lord John Hay and the officers of the Wari-
i
spite were invited to the dinner, and the brief address which
his lordship had occasion to make in the course of thoefeew
a
ing has been very much approved of by the citizens_
er
two
York. In the early part of the entertainment, ft
t7masse and left
n
speeches only had been made, the gentlemen connected with
the New York press, not deeming themselves properly
treated or sufficiently accommodated, rose Cll
the room.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE AND I'OBT NATAL.—Late and
satisfactory intelligence has again been received from the
Cape of Good Hope, viz.:—to the 30th of July, the advices
from Port Natal reaching on the 17th of that month. At
that date the Boers had entirely submitted to the troops sent
against them, and had released all their prisoners, partly,
it was said, in order to avoid a conflict with the Zoolus. It
was alleged, but the accounts are not positive on this head,
that Colonel Cloete, at the end of ten days, had offered par-
don to all but deserters and five of the leaders of the Dutch
'a:
farmers, viz. :—Pretorins, Prinslow, Berger, and the two
Bredas, father and son.
