HORTICULTURAL NOTES FOR TUE
MONTH.

This will be busy month in the gar
den, as great deal of our success
through the season will depend on the
careful and active performance of the
routine duties now coming thick upon us.
In the open ground, seeds of onions,
peas, parsneps, ETC., should be got in as
soon as possible; but should the ground
be wet, it will not do to trample on it too
much Where there is the convenience
of hot-beds, many crops may be sown in
them, and transplanted to the open ground
when all danger of frost is passed. For
this purpose it is advisable to collect
horse manure, which can generally be
procured in most places in the country.
When collected, it should be laid in a
body close together to ferment. After a
fortnight or three weeks it will be in
excellent order for use. A seed bed
should then be made of it, to raise such
seeds that are too tender to sow out Of
doors at this early part of the season
tomatoes, egg plants. peppers. caulihow-
ers, lettuce, etc. Sow the seeds in square
shallow boxes, half-filled with mould
After sowing, lay piece of glass on the
top Of the boxes, to prevent mice getting
at them. Seeds Of tender ANIMALS should
be sown in the same way, and put in the
same frame; likewise cuttings of he'd
ding-plants, that will be wanted for a
summer show in the flower beds.
FRUIT TREES. Finish planting and
pruning. Fork up the soil trodden down
In doing SO, and mulch newly-planted
trees.
GRAPE-VINEs -Prune, if not done in
the fall, and tie down horizontally to
make them break the buds near the bot
TOM
RosEs --Prune, but omit some to be
done later for late blooming; apply a
of manure.
SHRUBS. Thin out any that may be
getting too thick; cut off any branches
cncroachipg on the walks.
