FLOUR GARDEN.—Pr.pilliti4. LIIMPt now be wade ' tor housing ouch of the heckling plants as it to intended to save. Our plan is. to honoe all tender kinds as soon as there is airy danger is injury noon from, and replace the seine with hardy plants to emu I the winter. In this way the change o. the out den t rtiu its summer to its winter deem Roes on so gr..dually and imperceptibly aft to be hardly notteol, o till the whole has been donned in welter ron h. coleuses, alternantheres„ and nominee are alweys the Mit to be destroyed, and as WOO as this bikes I hose.

Fallow rip the rtux.val Si lab-rule from muscats, discontinue filling the eva p rating trough., end cover up the external I orders with glass lights, shutters, or tarpaulins. Shorten back fruiting pot vines and leave them out 44 doors where the roots can be protected from heavy rain. All he mid reason peachee, nectarines, and plums will now have been gathered, and the trees will be m the b -,t poitrible condition for potting or top-dresein,.. ...bon all is ready, choose a mild. clondy day; Lzyck carefully and liberally, diet st the balls al ail sea.. :oil, cut back strong tarts and replace them with the tope of the balls . sufficiently low to adm r / • •-1 in covering of cornfrost ht least lip, bath- Le em when all is tini,bed.

When fresh root action has set in, thin oat any earplug wood and shorten ba.• strum sioota to triple buds to keep the trees in shape, but avo:d cutting the weak growths. VEcrrenuts.—Conti nue to plant cabbages se ground iocomes vacant ; it is time that the main crop for epritg cutting should be planted. Cauliflowers now muter hand-lights, and also lettuces and endive, [nay sill be n anted out; tie lip when dry for hamening the two latter, and take precautions to guard against the first frost ; endive, in particular, quickly begins to decay when once frozen. Cauli (lowers in hand-lights must still have full exposure, and • chance let should he pricked out on a south border. Any that are ready for It, should have the foliage bent over the heads to preserve them from Ifrost and from expansion. If lifted and heeled in under a north wall the supply may be continued for a long period. All but the very latest-planted ceary may now be moulded up; the sooner the better. Lateplanted eatery should be kept free from aide suckers and weeds, and the grotb d should be kept open by surface hoeing.—Cearderfing Illustrated.
