Daphne Fortuni ; Cyclnmens Atkinsi and persicum, in great 

 Viirioty ; Mignouetto ; iind towardn tUo end of tlie month from 

 the early viuery, Epi])hyllum lUisMelliiinum ; Cytisus Atleeaua, 

 rauemosa elegans, and raeeniusa suporba ; Acai'ia umiata, and 

 Drummoudi, and some of the forced plants. Tlie stiive may 

 furnish Fraueiseea coufertiflora, and exiniia ; Gardenia Furtnni 

 and rtoridi ; Jasminum graiile ; Centradenia granditiora, and 

 ro.sea; Rogiera cordata; J'liicliaris amazoniea ; Pancratium 

 speciosum ; Imantophyllum miuiatum ; Pyenostauhy.s urtiei- 

 folia; Amaryllis auliea, vara, croeata, Johusoui priecox ; 

 iEclimea fulgens, and Stenogastra eoueinna. 



Cuttings of Poinsettia and Euidun-bia should be inserted, 

 and of Luculia gratissima in the stove, for early blooming. 

 Start more Achimencs and Gloxinias, silso Gesucras of sorts, 

 especially gloxiniiuflora, splendens, zobrina spleudens, and 

 Donckelaari ; .ind Culadiums to be potted forthwith. Cuttings 

 of all winter-blooming plants should be inserted if the stock is 

 short, and also to obtain small jilants. A tew cuttings of 

 C'oleus Verschaffolti put in now will prove useful. Pot Tube- 

 roses, and place iu the early vinery in a little bottom heat. 

 Amaryllis formosissima with others of the Amaryllids now 

 showing for bloom, will do admirably plunged in the bed of 

 the early vinery. Pot a few Ferns, they will come iu useful 

 through (he summer; and'some Lycoiiods, Otaheite Orange, 

 Azaleas, Rhododendrons, 'Wcigela rosea, Deutzias, Dielytra 

 S|)ectabilis, and more bulbs to be introduced. Datm-a humilis 

 and ehlorantha (young plants kept over the winter), to bo 

 potted, and encouraged. Sow Celosia pyramidalis. Cockscomb, 

 and Globe Amaranths, also Amarauthus bicolor aud tricolor 

 towards the end of the month, or early iu next. 



Makcu. — From the early vinery many of the plants placed 

 there to force will be coming into bloom, and these will in 

 themselves be amply sufficient for frequent changes of the 

 plants in the rooms during this and next month. We may, iu 

 addition, calculate on Tropieolum tricolor, .Jarratti, aud brachy- 

 ceras, which are handsome on trellises, and so is T. azureum ; 

 also, Lithospermum fruticosum ; Acacias gi-andis, eriocarpa, 

 and juniperina ; and Chorozemas. Kennedyas, too, bloom finely 

 ou trellises at this season, and we may expect some this mouth 

 from cool houses. The stove will afford a few forced plants, 

 and the other wintcr-iloweriug plants will come in or continue 

 in bloom until this period, it being understood that the stove 

 is not so much occupied with siunmer as with winter-blooming 

 plants. 



AH plants coming from the rooms should be again placed iu 

 the structure they were taken from. If from the stove, they 

 should be rested for about a month, and may then be cut in, 

 aud have the pots plunged in the early vinery, which will set 

 them going. Camellias and Azaleas done blooming to be placed 

 in the early vinery to make wood for next year's early blooming, 

 which, as regards the first, will, in the current year, occur in 

 October and onwards. The first lot of Gloxinias, Achimenes, 

 and Gesneras will be forward, and be placed in their bloommg- 

 pots, more being introduced for succession. Pot variegated 

 Begonias and the better kinds of hardy Ferns ; they are 

 charming for in-door decoration in summer. A few mure plants 

 for forcing may be introduced to fill up blanks in the early 

 vinery. Sow Primrdas and Cinerarias for an early bloom. 

 See that Aphelandra cristata, Porteana, Leopoldi, and other 

 winter or autumn-blooming plants are cut in, aud cuttings 

 made of all winter-blooming plants if still delayed. Pot those 

 previously struck, and grow them on ; many of them will do 

 well in the early -i-iuery. Pot more Fuchsias, aud put iu 

 cuttings of the early plants for autumn blooming. Impatiens 

 JerdoniiB is a good stove plant for autumn work ; plants now 

 potted and gi-own iu the stove will be found useful. Select 

 a few of the better kinds of bedding plants, as the different 

 variegated and Zouale Geraniums, and especially Nosegays ; 

 also Verbenas, Petunias, &c., potting and growing them on in 

 the cool vinery. They will be usefid when the Pelargoniums 

 are over. A few plants of Pinks and Carnations, potted now, 

 wiU, though they come in little earlier than those in the open 

 ground, be none the less sweet in vases in the house. Epacrises 

 to be cut and placed in a cold frame. Cuttings of Heliotrope, 

 to furnish plants for winter aial spring blooming, to be inserted 

 forthwith ; also of tree Carnations. Sow more Cockscombs, 

 Celosia pyramidalis, the first Balsams, and Thunbergia alata, 

 for training to sticks iu the form of pyramids, or any other 

 shape. They will do now in the early vinery. Encourage 

 plants of Sericograpliis Ghiesbreghtiana in a cool house. Let 

 them grow freely until .June ; then stop the shoots, repot, and 

 grow on imtil October ; then place iu the 'stove. They will 



bloom in November. Fuchsia serrulata and its varieties flori- 



bunda and alba are valuable winter-blooming plants. Cuttings 

 jiut in lujw, in a little heat, soon strike root ; grow on until 

 .July, place out of doors, then take up in Seiitember, and place 

 in the early vinery, which will by that timi! be cool enough for 

 anything. Sow Mignonette in pots, fijr autumn blooming, in 

 a cold frame ; it will require to bo jiotted when the plants are 

 large enough to handle, and grown on in a frame until June, 

 to be then jilaced outside in an open, but not vei-y sunny, ])lacc. 

 Remove to the frame in September, keeping stopped and potted 

 through the summer as the plants grow, llhodanthe Maiiglesii 

 and Acroclinium roseum, are nice Everlastings for jjots ; seed 

 may now be sown in a little heat. Cypripedium insigne and 

 venustum are of the best of winter-flowering plants ; jilants of 

 them should be potted and enccuiraged in the stove or vinery 

 1U)W at work. The old I'hajus granditiorus is a glorious plant 

 for blooming in early spring; it should have sweet soil, plenty 

 of drainage, aud a place iu the stove to make growtli, with 

 abuiuhuico of water and moisture. The very best of I'oom- 

 plants, Eichardia a'thiopica, should be potted, and increased, 

 if practicable, by dividing the roots. It does well in a cool 

 vinery. Cuttings of Chrysanthemums to be put in ; they make 

 nice plants for autumn. Inga pulcherrima to be cut-in, and 

 grown in a frame ; endeavour to have the shoots well ripened 

 before or by autimiu. It will recpiire potting after it breaks. 

 Hoitzia coccinea to be cut-in, and potted after the new growths 

 are an inch long ; it is a stove plant. — Ci. Abbey.
