VEGETABLE GABDEN. "• ; ; v Those who have fears of losing Globe Artichokes by frost, will do well/fo put in a few-seeds now in a wariii. greenhouse till strong,tben priokod outi the,BtrongesUf them will produce'a few beads in the Autumn. The main crop of Carrots may how besovn at lujtimo, The newest, freshest hit of laud in thegarden should be reserved for carrots, "lo ensure clean, brightcolored roots. Soot and lime may be used as a..10p dressiug,:ani] forked lightly into the surface, "aiid a .small quautity of artificial manure/may with 'advantage,'be sowu with the seqds in the drills, which fboiild-bfi Ifj. /inches apart, ta dthermantlfo'lpbujd bo applied to the laud-now. Salsify and ScOrzouera may be . kowu ';' fB, and- have the same .treatment.that i» recommended for.carrots. The best Carrot for inaih crops is a. geod; selection of JamcNv Inierm«linte. 'Celery trenches may be prepared ut any tiraa. now when convenient.... The, will bo better if tho manure is ■ mixed with the soil several.weeks before the Celery i'b planted, than if the trenches are made and the celery jiet in at thp same tiae* If single rows are planted the trenches may beij feet apart, with rows cf .lettuces, c&jliflowflrsj or early' potatoes on the ridges. Plant tiroe seeds of Vegetable Marrow and SRdge Cucumber in' a fou^incfi'|iot',lJli / ng"aß. many pots as tbere ; are bills ■ to plant;' and leaving a margin for accidents. Place tho pots in a franjo or pit, where there.is a little warmth, As soon fas the Beedß start into growth,- moyo.tbe':plants to a cool frame, and plant out" about the:middle of November. Tomatoes should be pricked off when large'' enough, and grown on rapidly to ge| them strong w.hen they are turned OfjA about the middle -of November. P™ tatoe planting shoijld be.followed up* briskly this month) Give them plenty ot space, and use soine kind of lant in the drills with, the set's. Late potatoes are rather out of place in small gardens,

If' Winter and Spring, Sow tho Anemone thinly.) the Wallflower may be transplanted.
