GARDEN OPERATIONS.
Vegetables.—Commence planting potato-onions ; the soil cannot be too dry at the time of planting. Plant out cabbage, cauliflowers, &c. Attend to growing crops. Fruit. —If new plantations of strawberries were not made last month, delay it no longer. Prepare the ground for the reception of fruit trees. Flowers. —Chrysanthemums will now be in flower, and should be made secure to stakes, or the high winds will damage their beauty; watering them with weak liquid manure will cause them to flower finely. Sow annuals in poor soil —autumn sown are always the earliest, and frequently the handsomest; they will be ready for spring planting when the beds and borders are put into proper order. Cuttings of China roses, struck now, will make blooming plants early next season. This is the proper season to commence planting bulbs; anemone, plant roots of, in drills two inches deep, the tubers -five inches apart. Cut down all decaying flowers, and tie up the remainder.
