November.

Kitchen Garden.—Asparagus and rhubarb should both be at their best, the former will require the heads to be cut as they shoot up, whether wanted for use or not, and the latter can be strengthened by a judicious application of liquid manure. Sow full crops of peas, French beans, the long podded running sorts are preferable. Tomatoes and all the more tender summer vegetables, as cucumbers and vegetable marrows, may still be planted and sown; while those sown early will require tying up and stopping. Sow celery to plant out in January, and later on attend to the disbudding of fruit trees and the stopping of vines.

Flower Garden.—The budding of roses may now be proceeded with, as the buds mature and the flow of sap causes the bark to rise freely. See that newly planted shrubs are not suffering for want of water. If moist weather, balsams, portulacca, &c., may still be sown. Save seeds of early annuals as they ripen. Tie up dahlias and hollyhocks as they grow, to prevent them being broken with high winds.

Farm.—Hay-making will occupy attention this month, and potato planting in late districts. Attend to growing crops of mangolds, carrots, chicory, &c.; hoeing, thinning, and keeping the surface stirred, to induce a vigorous growth. Maize may still be sown when wanted for green fodder.
