March.

Kitchen Garden.—Sow cauliflowers, cabbages, carrots, lettuce, a few early peas, radish, spinach and turnip. Plant kidney potatoes, attend to celery and other growing crops, prepare ground for cropping. Trenching and draining should be forwarded this month, to allow the ground so treated to get the benefit of the ameliorating influences of the sun and weather.

Flower Garden.—Dahlias, hollyhocks, liliums, chrysanthemums, should be at their best this month; the latter deserve more attention than is generally bestowed upon them and will well repay liberal treatment. Hardy perennials may be sown this month; propagate by cuttings, pinks, carnations, fuchsias, &c. Divide herbaceous plants when getting too large, keep clear of weeds, and be careful that none are allowed to ripen seeds.

Farm.—Continue using the horse-hoe amongst growing crops. Rye, Cape barley and vetches may now be sown for green feed, also turnips for a main crop. In early districts wheat sowing will commence when rain falls, and lands intended for lucerne, or permanent pastures, should be prepared to be ready for sowing with the first break in the weather.
