A GREENHOUSE CALENDAR 341 the soil. Prick off also any that were sown last month. Chop turf for top-dressing vine horders. If broad beans and green peas were not sown in boxes last month it would be well to do so now. When they appear move them to cooler quarters. They must not be hastened or they will be too large before they can be planted out. Keep up a succession of French beans by making a small so wing every two or three weeks. Prick o ff some nice young cauliflowers from the open ground in to large pots now free from Chrysanthemums, four in each pot, and grow them alongsteadily until the end of February, when they may be planted without separation in the open.
