Make successional sowing of cabbage and cauliflower for winter and early spring use. Celery and leeks give a good watering with liquid manure, and earth up those that are sufficiently far advanced. Good celery should always have wellblanched stalks, about a foot long, and the way to procure these is by drawing tha soil from each side of the clay trench, and patting it about the stems of the plant. It is belter to this earth- '_,'" Ug up on two different occasions, .-'■;_ doing about six inches each time. The length of the blanched portion of a leek '. is also brought about by the same means. Harvest all crops as they ripen, especially onions and the late-planted potatoes. Pumpkins and piemelons as they ripen gather and store in a dry place; the haulm clear away, and have the ground manured, trenched, or dug for the reception of another crop, or sow down in green feed. Allow no ground to stand vacant during the winter : it is better in crop. - The British royal coat-of-arms, with it> .rampant linn and unicorn, has been a comnion feature of English advertising in type and on sign boards.
