JANUARY
In mild weather, sow early pease and ⟨beans⟩, likewise radishes, cresses, and lettuces ⟨in⟩ warm sheltered situations. Sow ⟨the⟩ seeds pretty thick; and if frost set in ⟨strong,⟩ spread some dry long litter over the ⟨beds⟩. In mild weather, if formerly omitted, ⟨prune⟩ apple, pear, cherry and plume trees; ⟨and⟩ gooseberries and currants. Plant fruit ⟨and⟩ forest trees, thorns, and other hardy ⟨shrubs⟩ in open weather. Turn up strong ⟨soil to⟩ meliorate with the frost; also such ⟨flower⟩ borders as are empty, to be in ⟨readiness at⟩ the time of planting. In hard frosty ⟨weather⟩ carry dung, and be careful of tender ⟨sapling⟩ trees, shrubs, evergreens, &c. by ⟨sheltering⟩ them from the frost.
