Eesr!.s Gratis .hrcr-h tie Winter.

Nurserymen who cut large quantities
Of gratis late in the autumn keep them
in cellars packed in damp moss; but
farmers ahd others, who wish TO pre-
serve a few for spring grating may not
have these appliances at hand. For
such, simple and perfect mode is to
bury them IN dry place out of doors,
in an inverted open box. Fill the box
partly with them, nail Two or three
strips across TO keep them in place, and
then place the box in hole dug for Tie
purpose, with the open side down, aud
bury them half foot or so in depth.
They do not come in contact with the
earth, and remain perfectly clean and
the moisture of the earth keeps them
plump and fresh without any danger Of
their becoming water-soaked. Crafts
which have become shrivelled by expos
ure are tins restored and will grow. 1t
is often advantageous TO cut gratis in
autumn. a there is no danger oil their
vitality being lessened by exposure to
intense cold, and ii is often more con-
venient TO cut them or procure them
from a distance a. this time. La making
