Stift' soil ll[ should be covered with sand, where sf obtainable, and at anj' rate should Kg be very completely pulverized seve- ral inches in depth, and well manured. Plant peas, onions, beets, carrots, pars- nips, lettuce, cress, radish, turnips, etc., â where they are to grow, also potatoes, and set out cabbage and cauliflower plants if you have or can get them. If not, start some in beds at once. Also, start tomatoes, egg plauts, sweet pota- toes and peppers, in beds or boxes, where they can be well sheltered from frosts. Delay planting corn till the mid- dle of March, and squashes, beans and cucumbers and melons until near the first of May, when there is little danger of frost. Then tomatoes, etc., can be transplanted with safety. FLOWEK GARDEN.

Cut back rose bushes at once. Divide up the sweet-williams, pinks, chrysanthe- mums, violets, .etc., and give enough room to spread in rich soil. This is an excellent season for dividing most plants at the roots, and to start cuttings in sand in a moist sheltered place, in garden beds or in boxes. Plant hardy and half- hardy annuals of all kinds. We refer you to catalogues, which can be had for the asking, for the varieties you want. But don't forget that a few showy vane- ties are better than too many kinds. The alyssums, asters, balsam, cockscombs, daturas, amar
