February.

Kitchen Garden.—The remarks for last month as to planting and sowing seeds should be attended to. A further supply of early potatoes to come in from June to August should be planted also. Celery should be planted out for the main crop in trenches, and the page 83 whole grounds kept free from weeds. If dry, attend to watering Vacant ground should be turned up for exposure to atmospheric influences.

Flower Garden.—Keep clean, and towards the end of the month a few early spring flowering bulbs may be planted, also a few hardy annuals sown when wanted. Save flower seeds, as they ripen; remove decayed flower steins, and keep tall plants neatly tied up.

Farm.—Harvest work being finished, the plough should be kept going. Maize sown this month sometimes turns out a valuable crop; a good breadth of turnips may if required be sown, and all the growing root crops should be kept clean cither by hand or horse-hoe, or both. This is a good time to top-dress grass lands where composts are available.
