250 THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 
planted, they will form strong crowns this autumn, and bear a good crop next _ 
season. 
GREENHOUSE AND CONSERVATORY. 
These structures must have a thorough cleansing at once, so as to be in readiness 
for the reception of the hard-wooded stock when required. All the wood-work 
should have a thorough scrubbing with soft-soap and warm water, and the walls 
be washed over with hot lime. All painting ought to be finished at once, so as to 
allow plenty of time for the effluvium arising from it to evaporate before the plants 
are housed. There is no danger of frost yet, but if we have much wet weather 
during the month, choice, delicate-rooted plants, like Leschenaultias, Heaths, 
Genetyllis, ete., must be removed indooes, to have protection from the wet, or they 
will suffer considerable injury. After they are indoors, the ventilators must be 
thrown open as wide as possible, day and night. Pot off cuttings of hard-wooded 
plants that are nicely rooted, to give them an opportunity of becoming nicely 
established before winter. Attend to plants out-of-doors, and see that they do not 
suffer for the want of water. Thin out the growing shoots of the climbers, to give 
the wood intended for next year a chance to get thoroughly ripened. 
VINERY. 
Vines swelling their fruit must have a moist, growing atmosphere. Muscats 
must have a temperature five degrees higher than that required for the Hambro’s. 
Give plenty of air to houses in which the crops are ripe, but_nail coarse canvas 
over all the openings, to keep the flies and wasps out. 
STOVES. 
Still maintain a brisk temperature, and give plenty of air, and use less shade 
than hitherto, to insure the wood being thoroughly ripened. Shut up early in the 
afternoon, Encourage winter-flowering plants with weak liquid manure, and give 
less water to plants that have completed their growth. A large proportion of the 
Orchids will have completed their growth for this season, and will now require 
more air and a fuller exposure to the light.
