GENERAL GARDEN WORK.

The continued dry weather has considerably hardened the soil, and planting out, unless on light land, is slow work. The water-pot must be used unsparingly on all plants just set out. Now is the time to get at weeds. Stir the soil thoroughly, leaving the weeds on surface, and the sun will finish them. Dahlias and chrysanthemums should be planted

out where they are intended to flower, and well watered in. Phlox Drummondii, Balsams, Zinnias, Celosias, and Cockscombs when hardened oft' should be planted out in beds and borders. Kumaras should be hardened off, and where this has already been done, they should be planted out. Continue suceessional sowings of Lettuce, Peas, and Kidney Beans.
