==Beans, Broad==, to be earthed up for protection and support.

==Celery== to be earthed up for the last time.  In case of severe weather, have protecting material at hand in the shape of dry litter or mats.  Pea-sticks make a capital foundation on which to throw long litter, mats, &c., for quickly covering Celery, the protection being as quickly removed when the frost is over, and costing next to nothing.

==Endive== will be valued now, and must be blanched as required.  Place a few in frames and other protected spots.  In the unused corners of sheds and outhouses they may be safer than out of doors.

==Parsley.==—­In all cold districts it is wise to secure a bed of Parsley, in a frame or pit, or if a few plants were potted in September, they may be wintered in any place where they can have light and air freely.  It is so important to have Parsley at command as wanted, that it may be worth while to put a frame over a few rows as they stand in the open quarter, rather than risk the loss of all in the event of severe weather.

==Radish.==—­Sow one of the long sorts for a first supply in some warm spot, to secure quick growth.

==Underground Onions== to be planted in rows one foot apart.  They should not be earthed up, for the young bulbs form round the stems in full daylight.

THE ROTATION OF CROPS IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN

This is a subject worthy the attention of those who aim at the largest possible production and the highest possible quality of every kind of kitchen-garden crop, for it concerns the natural relations of the plant and the soil as to their several chemical constituents.  The principle may be illustrated by considering the demands of two of the most common kitchen-garden crops.  If we submit a Cabbage to the destructive agency of fire, and analyse the ashes that remain, we shall find in them, in round numbers, eight per cent. of sulphuric acid, sixteen per cent. of phosphoric acid, four per cent. of soda, forty-eight per cent. of potash, and fifteen per cent. of lime.  It is evident that we cannot expect to grow a Cabbage on a soil which is destitute of these ingredients, to say nothing of others.  The obnoxious odour of sulphur emitted by decaying Cabbages might indicate, to anyone accustomed to reflect on ordinary occurrences, that sulphur is an important constituent of Cabbage.  If we submit a Potato tuber to a similar process, the result will be to find in the ashes fifty-nine per cent. of potash, two per cent. of soda, six per cent. of sulphuric acid, nineteen per cent. of phosphoric acid, and two per cent. of lime.  The lesson for the cultivator is, that to prepare a soil for Cabbage it is of the utmost importance to employ a manure containing sulphates, phosphates, and potash salts in considerable quantity; as for the lime, that can be supplied separately, but the Cabbage must have it.  On the other hand,
