144 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



border is the best situation for them. Cuttings of most kinds of Greenhou»e 

 plants should now be put oft'. 



Carnations and Pinks. — Laying the former, and piping the latter, will be 

 required by the end of the month. Seedlings should be planted out singly 

 into pots or open borders. Those Carnations in pots require particular at- 

 tention iu keeping them well supplied with water, and to support the flower 

 stems by tying them to neat green sticks with bass; pipings of the young 

 shoots may still be put in ; those cut at the second or third joint make the 

 handsomest plants ; they should be kept shaded from the hot sun, otherwise 

 they will soon get scorched and dried up, they should be finished layering 

 by the middle of the mouth. Pinks may still be propagated by pipings as 

 in June. Auricula plants in pots will require a little water frequently in 

 hot weather, taking care not to pour it on the heart of the plant — all dead 

 leaves should be removed — if any of the plants are attacked with the green 

 fly, they should be smoked with tobacco, 



Ranunculus and Anemone Root3. — Should any bulbous rooted plants, 

 as Ranunculuses, Tulips, Anemones, &c, now be past flowering, and their 

 leaves decayed, they should be taken up, well dried, cleaned, and the offsets 

 separated, and put in a cool airy place, till the planting season again com- 

 mences. — See articles in Vols. I. and II., of the Cabinet. 



Camellias —which have ceased blooming, will now require to be excited 

 by being taken to a higher degree of heat, and frequently syringed, this will 

 induce vigorous shoots, and an abundance of flower buds. 



Chrysanthemums. — See pages 73, 74, and 81, of Vol. I. Plants in small 

 pots should be repotted into larger. 



Dahlias.— See pages 3, 22, 66, and 95, of Vol. I. ; and articles in Vol. 2, 

 and Vol. 3, page 100. 



Tulips.— See page 24, Vol. I. 



Greenhouse and Stove Annuals. — Such as have been grown hitherto in 

 small pots, should be repotted into larger for th>- "ammer's growth-. 



Auriculas — may be repotted and placed in a shady, but airy, situation. 

 Transplant seedlings, also of Polyanthuses. 



Pansies. — New beds may be made by taking off rooted offsets or by 

 piping, shading them for a few days after removal. Such will bloom pro- 

 fusely at the end of summer. 



Camblias — If the new shoots have nearly done growing, place the plants 

 in a warm greenhouse, or in a stove of 70 degrees, in order to assist the 

 plants in producing flower buds. 



Herbaceous Plants — in flower beds should regularly be tied up as theJ 

 advance iu growth, not allowing them to grow too far before this attention is 

 given, or many kinds will become unsightly. 



Balsams. — See culture of, in Vol. I. 



Triveranians. See Vol. I. 



Seeds of hardy Biennials, as Sweet Williams, Scabious, &c, may be sown 

 for plants to bloom next year. 



The Double Scarlet Lychnis, &c, &c. — The double scarlet Lychnis, 

 and such like plants, should be propagated by cuttings. Dahlia cuttings 

 will easily take root if placed in brisk heat. Continue to cut box edgings, 

 and hedges, where it was not done last month. Where it is desired to save 

 seed of Ten Week, Russian, or German Stocks, only allow those single ones 

 to remain, the flowers of which have five or six petals ; if such be reserved 

 they will generally pioduce double flowering plants. Towards the end ot 

 the month, Roses may be budded : the first week in August is, however, eou« 

 sidered better.
