Gardening for the Month.

MARCH. KITCHBN GaKTON.

The instructions lv last mouths' calendar will, In many cases, apply to this month. Thin ad?anoing crops of Jate spinach, a snanohdepends upon the pl&utß being strnr g before the growing season ceases. E«.vih ip celery as It progresses, alwap choosing dry weather for the operation, and the niter part of the dey whoa the loaves are itf* .PUrat oat lettuce and endive, for winter and spiring usa. Clear off all iixhaasted crops, and dig and trench every vacant piece of ground, leaving it rough and exposed to the sweetening action of the w«&ther. Manure required for winter operations should be carted or wheeled dwiag dry weather, end if laid down In IBaall heaps covered wlrh a few spadefuls of aoil. Cat away the ripened * grass ' of Mp&ragas and top drees the beds with well fotfied manaret Sow white and brown Spanish onions. Plants of cauliflower, btoooll) antl oabbage are generally scarce, sometimes not proonrable for planting out during August; and Sapbember. The ©nd of this, or beginning of nest, month is a good time to sow seeds in order to obtain strong plants for this purpose. A dry sheltered situation is necessary. Greenhouse. Many of the more delicate and soft wooded plants, plunged or planted oat daring summer, will now require to be brought Into the greenhouse, and those kept In pits and cold frames will require thß protection of the glass lights daring the night;, and also in the event of wet weather setting in. The glasses, howevor, Bhoald not be closely shut down during night* bat a portion of air admitted, and their total removal during; the day, when the weather is fine, should be attended to, A general examination of every plant should now be made, and a little careful pruning practised, by thinning out weak and saparflaoas branches, stopping those that require it, and where it does not interfere with their mode of flowering. Every plant should be examined to see the drainage is perfect and that the roots hava plenty cf room, the pots should also bs washed clean,and the plants neatly trained If of slender habic; bub all plants Bhould, m far as the nature of the case will admit, be so grown aa to require no sappers whatever. This, to a very great extent, can, is, and will be effected by judicious management). Do noc crowd the plants either in the greenhouse or in the frames. Reduce the amount of water given at the soots, and suspend syringing. Fiower Garden and Shrubbery. The eammer giory of the flower garden will now be fast fading away ; dahlias, holly hocks and cryaanthemums should, however, be in perfection. This is an excellent t'me for the propagation of herb aceous plants, and the means employed in the majority of casea is by subdivision of the roots. Those that do not Increase lv this way will do so by seeds or cuttings, and the socner that the one is sown and the other planted the better. Protect rattings in frames from frost and excessive damp, as directed for the greenhnose, Evergreens may now be transplanted. Obchabd and Fruit Garden. The season for transplanting fruit trees Is at hand, and preparations ehoald be made with this in view t Toung frnft trees from the nurseries, and those re quiring removal from ona part of the j orchard or garden to another, will, if j planted daring this and next month, j succeed much better than those planted daring the winter or sprir,g monthp. Large trees should have their roots cut aboub the middle of the month. This cutting round the tree is of great impor iartee. Its effects will be to bring an Immediate disposition to prodnce a much Increased amount of fibres ; this will the j aoonor a-stabllah the trees, for it must I c understood that most of oar deciduous trees and shrnbs carry ona continuous root action all the winter j ther are prob ably never entirely dormant while there la warmth ia the ground. Root action, therefore, bein^ to a great extent depen dent on the warmth in the soil, how important early planting mast be to those who would gain time, which Is generally the object whether la planting for ornn. - ment or utility. It may also be noticed as a point in favour of this argument, that fcraes cub round will of neoessitv be forced into a somewhat earlier rest, the supplies to the leaf being in a great measure cut off, the descending sap causes the cub portions o£the roots to 'callus' or heal over, and sraib young fibres. Snoh being the case, a tree cud round In the first we k in March may be considered fib in removal by the end of the month, and at thar, period there still remains a consider able amount of ground-heat, even until the middle of April or later, enough to sat the young fibres in action ready for the returning spring. Such are some of the reasons why early planting is to be recom mended, bub there remain others, the weight of which should cause a greifc preponderance in favour of the practice. Let anyone acquainted with the details of gardening observe the enormous pressure """^ni work which spring invariably brings— a pressure double that which exists in March or April, The uncertain weather daring our New Zealand spring months, which io either extreme of drought or wet, is also an argument in favour of autumn planting of both fraib and tores fc trees.
