Notes for the Month.
( From the Richmond Farmer.


This month is one in which there is
much to be done in every department of
Horticulture, ,and the gardener who hopes
to succeed with vegetables, fruits and
flowers, must now be active and indus
trious. No time is tobe lost.
In the kitchen garden the ground
should be manured and spaded, or
ploughed as soon as it is sufficiently dry,
so that it may be ready to SOW and
plant as soon as the weather will per-
nit Peas, potatoes and onions should
be planted as early as possible; then to-
wards the last of the month, If the
weather is favorable, SOW parsnip, sal
safy, beet, carrot and onion seed, and
plant out early cabbage and lettS;""
plants from tie hnth"a1. Inls Is also
tLo oIme TO make new asparagus beds, to
SOW asparagus, rhubarb and parsley seed,
also the first sowing of late cabbage for
fall use, &c. Some seasons the weather
will not admit of all this being done,
this month, in which case it must be
postponed until April, but ordinarily all
can be done in March. The hotbeds
will require close attention. Towards
the last of the month it will be time TO
transplant tomato, pepper and egg
plants from the seed beds into frames
where they will have room to grow
strong. When cucumbers are raised I'M
der glass they will require to be careful
ly watered, covered at night when there
is danger Of frost, and. moderate bot
tom heat kept up, by lining the frames
with fresh manure. The different kinds
of roots, from which to raise seed, should
also be set out this month, such as Gel
cry, beets, parsnips, sasafy, onions, tur-
nips, &c. These should be carefully Sc
lected from the best roots and planted
in good rich soil.
In the orchard and vineyard all the
pruning should have been done before
this time, and as this is not always the
case, let no time be lost now III finishing
it, and if the ground is to be cultivated,
let 1t be dug OF ploughed at once. 1t
would be well to examine the roots of
apple and peach trees and see that all
the insects are destroyed. When young
trees and vines are to b3 planted, 1t
shonld be done as soon as possible; be
fore the buds begin to swell. The grape
vines should be tied up to stakes or
trellises, SO that they may be ready to
grow off when the weather becomes
warm.

pose to plant, allowing to each vine
about two square yards in any shape
| which is most convenient, make your
pit about twenty inches deep and cut a
narrow drain from this pit to any point
lower than its bottom-fill up the pit
from the litter pile of your yard or alley
the proper proportion is one-half rich
earth and the other half bones, old shoes,
leather scraps, hair, feathers, wooden
rags, old iron, stable manure and from a
peck to half a bushel each of broken
charcoal, brickbats, old morter or plaster
and coal cinders all mixed well together
Throw a tier of gravel, brickbats or
stones into the bottom of your drain and
FIJI it up.
Take good healthy vine one or two
years old with as many ofits tine hbrous
roots as possible-dig out a place IN the
filled up pit large enough to receive the
roots and about six inches deep-put
about two inches of rich mould in which
there is no manure over the bottom of
this hole, set on your vine spreading out
the roots smoothly and naturally and
cover over with similar mould finely
crumbled, being careful that no manure
is brought in contact with the roots
then wet the whole well with cold soap
suds to settle it, If pavement has
been taken up to dig the pit it may be
replaced as soon as the ground is suffi-
GENTLY settled leaving a space the size of
two bricks around the stem of the vine.
Thus planted the vine is provided with
the food it most needs tor at least ten
years. II planted where the sun reach
es the ground, cut off the vine an inch
above an eye, about one foot from the
ground if the sun does not reach it
leave the stem from two to four feet long
as your vine permits.
The varieties best suited in this eli
mate to ordinary cultivation are the
Garriques, Concord, Herbemont, NortOn's
Seeding, Catawba and Isabella, which
ripen in the order in which they are
named. The Delaware is superior
grape to any of the above, but of slower
growth and later bearing. 1t would be
best for those planting so many vines to
have one of each
