February.—­A general crop of turnips for sheep, etc. should be sown this month, the land having been previously manured, cleared, ploughed, etc.  This is also the proper month for putting Cape barley in the ground, for green food for horses, cattle, etc.

March.—­Strawberries should be planted this month, and onions for immediate use should be sown.  All forest land should be now sown with wheat; and turnips, for a general crop, in the proportion of one pound of seed to an acre of land.

April.—­From the middle of this month, until the end of May, is the best season for sowing wheat in the districts of Richmond Hill, Phillip, Nelson, and Evan, as it is not so subject to the caterpillar, smut, rust, and blight.  Oats may also be sown now for a general crop.  Asparagus haulm should also be cut and carried off the ground, and the beds dunged.

May.—­Pease and beans for a field crop should be sown in this month; but, in gardens, at pleasure, as you may be supplied with them, as well as most other vegetable productions, sallads, etc. nearly at all times of the year.

June.—­This is the best season for transplanting all kinds of fruit-trees, except evergreens; layers may also be now made, and cuttings planted from hardy trees.  Spring barley should be sown this month upon all rich land, three bushels to an acre.

July.—­Potatoes which were planted in January are now fit for digging.  Stocks to bud and plant upon should now be transplanted; cabbage and carrots may be sown; and strawberries should be cleaned, and have their spring dressing.

August.—­Potatoes must now be planted for general summer use; the ground prepared for clover at this season is best.  Cucumbers and melons of all kinds should now be sown, and evergreens transplanted.  Vines ought to be cut and trimmed early in this month.  Ground may this month also be ploughed for the reception of maize, and turnip land prepared for grass.

September.—­This is the best season for grafting fruit-trees, and the ground should be entirely prepared for planting with maize.  Grass-seed or clover should be sown in the beginning of this month, if the weather is favourable, and there is a prospect of rains.

October.—­All fruit-trees now in bearing should be examined, and where the fruit is set too thick, it must be reduced to a moderate quantity.  The farmer should plant as much of his maize this month as possible, and clean ground for potatoes.

November.—­In this month the harvest becomes general throughout the colony, and no wheat ought to be stacked upon the ground, as the moisture which arises from the earth ascends through the stack, and tends much, in this warm climate, to increase the weevils, which prove very destructive to the wheat.  Evergreens may now be propagated by layers, and cabbage, lettuce, and turnips sown.
