JtLORICULTURAL CALENDAR FOR SEPTEMBER. 



Annual flower seeds, as Clarkia, Collinsia, Schizanthusea, Ten-week Stocks, 

 ^tc, now sown in pots and kept in a cool frame or greenhouse during winter, will 

 be suitable for planting out in open borders next April. Such plants bloom early 

 and fine, and their flowering season is generally closing when Spring sown plants 

 are coming into bloom, 



Carnation layers, if strnck root, should immediately be potted o£F. 



China Rose cuttings now strike very freely, buds may still be put in success- 

 fully. 



Mignionette may now be sown in pots, to bloom in winter. 



Pelargoniums, cuttings of, may now be put off ; plants from such, will bloom in 

 May. 



Pinks, pipings of, if struck, may be taken off and planted in the situations in- 

 tended for blooming in next season. 



Plants of Herbaceous Calceolarias should now be divided, taking off offsets and 

 planting them in small pots. 



Verbena Melindres (chamoedrifolia.) Runners of this plant should now be taken 

 off, planting them in small pots, and placing them in a shady situation. It should 

 be attended to as earlv in ihe month as convenient. 



Plants of Chinese Chrysanthemums should be repotted if necessary ; for if done 

 later, the blossoms will be small. Use the richest soil. 



When Petunias, Heliotropium, Salvias, Pelargoniums, (Geraniums,) &c, have 

 been grown in open borders, and it is desirable to have bushy plants for the same 

 purpose the next year, it is now the proper time to take off slips, and insert a num- 

 ber in a pot; afterwards place them in a hot-bed frame, or other situation having the 

 command of heat. When struck root, they may be placed in a greenhouse or cool 

 frame to preserve them from frost during winter. When divided, and planted out 

 the ensuing May in open borders of rich soil, the plants will be stocky and bloom 

 profusely. 



Tigridia pavonia roots may generally be taken up about the end of the 

 mouth.

 if allowed to remain out much longer, the foliage will often turn brown from the 

 effects of cold air. 



Plants of Pentstemons should be divided by taking off offsets, or increased by 

 striking slips. They should be struck in heat. 



Panzies. — The tops and slips of Fanzies should now be cut off, and be inserted 

 under a hand-glass, or where they can be shaded a little. They will root very 

 freely, and be good plants for next season.
