RURAL KALENDAR FOR MARCH.
The Garden.—Continue planting young cabbage, to come in for colworts and heading; thin and weed the beds of spinach; sow small salads of different kinds' once a fortnight; hoe and thin turnips, cut the weeds clean with a sharp hoe, leaving the turnips six incites apart each way; make mushroom beds; make a plantation of strawberries at the end of the month. Commence planting bulbs; keep the borders neat by cutting out iambling shoots, dead flower stems, weeds, nnd other litter; put sticks to weak growing plants ; strike honeysuckle cuttings. Much must be done at this season. If hope you have been di'igetit during the summer, no weeds ought to have seeded; this cannot be too strongly impressed upon gardeners! When your crops are gathered off any piece of land, let it be dug immediately"; the drier the better, as many soils are apt to cake and harden when dug in a wei state. Gardenets dislike digging the hard soil, but it is Letter for the garden. Let it lie rough, and then it is ready to be replanted when the earliest autumn rains fall. Dig your potatoes, and do so effectually; they become otherwise a troublesome iveed. The seeds of most biennials and perennials may now be sown with advantage, and all seeds of indigenous shrubs and trees. The Fiked.—Prepare ground previously broken up for- sowing j sow grasses; sow winter tares, cape barley, mangold wurzel, nnd, towards the end of the month, wheat.
