THE GARDEN.

KINCHEN GARDEN,. •■■>. ■ Novombor is a busy month in tho kitchen garden, because it is in.the early stages that most crops require incessant attention to bring them ovor the first period of growth and get them established, The season has • been' so adverse that; with every care and attention, but little progress is made, and unless these Nor'easters aud Kor'westers'are succoeded by some genuine growing weather) the chances of an abundant crop of vegetables, are very poor this season. Sow tho main crop of beet in drills one inch deep and from fiftoon to eighteen inches apart. Henderson's pine apple and Hutting's selected aro good sorts. Prepare a bed of rotten manure, three inches deep, covering it to tho depth of another'inch with light sandy soil. Prick celery plants' out on this about three inches apart, water freely, and until they (ate hold of the soil, shade them from bright aunshine, The early batch of celery sown in August and transplanted in September, will.be be ready to"put: out in trenches, four feet apart, the tronches'being filled to, within six inches of' the top with good moißt rotten manure, dug in.; The space between the trenches can be utilised by planting lettuce, spinach,- or cauliflowers at twelve inches apart. ; FRUIT GARDEN, - Proceed with the' disbudding and removing young Bhootsfroui peach and apricot trees,- Where the fruit of the former is too thick a numbor may now be cut off. Those of the Utter will be useful for tarts, Iu disbudding use a smallsharp knife, as pinching the shoots off ia apt to causo tho wound lo gum and canker, Where wood is wanted pinch off the top of strong shoots as several good-bearing shoots. may be thus obtained, Whero a shoot will be too strong and only one is wanted, cut it back so as to secure one good lateral, When strong shoots appear where thoy are not wanted, or tho tree is ever-luxuriant,' allow a number of them to run their full letu,'lh, taking off the leaves from; the under part of the shoots as they advance, They will thus form channels for the extra sap, and will not shado uneoessarily the wood intended for bearing, In l removing shoots at this season thin them gradually so its ultimately tojeaveno more than can Ib exposed to the sun and air. FLOWER GARDEN. Eustio baskets and' vases may now be filled with soil, which should be of, a rather retentative nature, and the plants Bhould be turned out when all-danger . from frost is over. Blowers of ! a,drooping habit are the best suited for baskets, Fuchsias and the liko. and calceolaria Jloribunda, with anagallis ceruloa standifiora, or lobelia hanging don-n the sides of the basket will auswer well, Auriculas are fading fast, the majority of collections 1 being out of flower. Whore seed is not required tho heads may be cut off, not too low; put the plants in a shady situation, giving them' tho requisite attention as to water and cleanliness, They are too ofter neglocted after blooming time, Tie up carnations as fast as thoy require it, and if green fly make its appearance, dust Scotch snulf slightly over them, or brush the insects off With a large camel hair brush. Keep the pots free from weeds, which now spring up fast. Tie pinks to stioks. ', GREENHOUSE. , ... : i Keep down the temperature in the conservatory by all possible means, in order to prolong the flowering of the plants, and as tho syringe would soon injure the appearance of plants in flower, tho rose watering-pot must take ite place. Flood all spare parts in the .house morning and evening, Oontinuo: to encourage ' the greenhouse plants to make rapid growth in this month, and keep the atmosphere always moist at night during this period, As few plant; are allowed to flower in this house, if there is a conservatory, the syringe may bo used freely in the afternoon of lino days, Training and regulating the growth of all pot plants, as well as watering and killing insects, must bo attended to while tho plants are growing -
