Garden Thoughts.

In a little while-two or three
weeks-we shall be In the garden,
clearing it up and preparing 1t for
the general operations Of the season.
The first thing-if not done in the
falls 10 gather up the otfal of
every kind and burn 1T. Fork up
the border beds for the onion crop.
Dig the beds for the early peas,
planting the first crop shallower
than the others, which should be
from four 10 six inches IN depth
Hot beds should be prepared at once
if not already done. and tomato,
eggplant, cabbage seed. &C., sown.
The rhubarb bed should be cleared
up. forked over and MANFRED. The
asparagus bed should have the rough
portions of last falls top dressing
removed and the rest forked in, fol-
lowed by a coat of coarse salt-that
from the meat-tub or mackerel-
barrel will answer rs we'll as any.
In pruning pear and apple trees,
the gratis which are intended to be
saved should be stuck in the ground
a couple of inches at the foot of
each tree, where they will keep as
well as in any other position, and
the name will be preserved.
Grape cuttings should be tied up
in bundles, with the name attached
on a wooden label, and buried until
wanted.
On or about the first of April the
flower beds and borders should have
the coarser portion of last falls top
dressing raked off, and the rest
carefully forked in. This should
be followed in a couple Of weeks by
a thorough dressing up with the
fork and rake. Never use a spade
in any of these operations-indeed,
it should be used very little even in
a garden, all the digging being done
with the garden fork.
Half-hardy plants of every kind
should not be taken up before the
first week in April, or say the 10th,
as a sharp freezing may catch them
and the tender wood destroyed. We
had our Hornet raspberry
much injured by that very cold
snap on the 18th of April two years
ago.
If the weather the last half of
March should be propitious, many
things will suggest themselves to be
done in the garden that will ave
labor later in the season., when work
upon the premises is more pressing.
