Gardening tips for your January vegetable garden plans. 

Make out a list of what you are going to want this year, and then make your January vegetable garden plans.

Seeds. Order your seed. Do it now while the seed store's stock is full; while he is not rushed; while there is ample time to rectify mistakes if any occur.

Gardening tips for manures.

Altogether too few amateur gardeners realize the great importance of procuring early every pound of manures, of any kind, to be had. It often may be had cheaply at this time of year, and by composting, adding phosphate, and several turnings, if you have any place under cover where it can be collected, you can double its value before spring.

January vegetable gardening tips for frames.

Even at this season of the year do not fail to air the frames well on warm days. Practically no water will be needed, but if the soil does dry out sufficiently to need it, apply early on a bright morning.

Onions.

It will not be too early, this month, to sow onions for spring transplanting outside. Get a packet each of Prizetaker, Ailsa Craig, Mammoth Silver-skin, or Gigantic Gibraltar.

Lettuce.

Sow lettuce for spring crop under glass or in frames.

Fruit.

This is a good month to prune grapes, currants, gooseberries and peach trees, to avoid the rush that will come later.
