THE GARDENERS CALENDAR OF OPERATIONS IN EVERY BRANCH HORTICULTURE - PREFATORY - VIEW OF THE W 0 RK. - LA KALENDAR as , being a Book of Refer.-ence, is allo ved to be the most useful form . in whieh to pblisll a system of Gardening . O considered either with regard to the usual di visions of work, or of time. - The history or - culture of piants, no doubt, may be as concisely and completely detailed, taken individually, by a Catalogue, or a Dictionary but the Kalendar has this particular advantage over every other book, that it exhibits, at a glance, the business or duty of the Gardener at every moment. The usual manner in which Kalendars have hitherto been drawn upon, is deviated from in this TVwk.

These irnpoiti. int matters I. cadea vour to discuss in a short and peispicnous manner and in the Kalendar,-to exhibit the newest and most approved methods of culti vating and bringing to early perfection, all kinds of Culinary Vegetablis, Sallads, and Herbs b and of storing and preserving tllem for winter use. In the Fruit Garden, the ICalendar is preceded by observations on the construction of Garden-Walls the formation and Improvement of Fruit-borders on Situations and Soils for Orchards the proper kinds, with descriptions, of Fruits for Walls, Espaliers, and Orchards, and the - aspects in which they should be planted and on the proper kinds, ...
