THE VEGETABLE GARDEN.
A spaall sowing of carrot may be made. If onion has not been sown up to now, it will be advisable to sow in a box instead of the open ground ; everyone should sow a large kind at this time, as they come earlier into use than the spring sown. Plant cabbage, cauliflower, and lettuce. Prepare ground for future planting of all kinds by trenching and manuring. Ground intended for rhubarb should be wefl draiued, heavily manured, and deeply trenched, and success is assured. Apropos of rhubarb it is surprising that more people do not grow Topp's Winter, which affords good sticks all through the winter, when fresh fruit tarts, etc., are so much appreciated. It may be planted now under precisely similar conditions to the other sorts.
