120 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



green fly, or any other similar insects, apply a sprinkling of tobacco - 

 water, diluted with water, by adding to one quart of the liquid five of 

 water ; in applying which to the plants, syringe them under, as well 

 as on the upper surface of the leaves : a repetition will rarely be 

 required. This mode of destroying the insects is far preferable to fu- 

 migation, no injury being sustained by it, even if applied in a pure 

 state. The liquid can be obtained of tobacconists at lOd: or Is. per 

 gallon. Inarching Orange or Lemon trees may still be performed. 

 It is a good time for increasing plants by cuttings, striking in moist 

 heat. Greenhouse annuals — as Salpiglossises, Globe Amaranthuses, 

 Balsams, &c. — should be encouraged by a little warmth, and shifted 

 into larger pots, early in the month ; so that the plants may make a 

 show, to succeed the removal of the general collection of greenhouse 

 plants. Cuttings or suckers of Chrysanthemums should now be taken 

 off, if not done before. — See Vol. I. pages 73 and 121 ; and Vol. II. 

 pages 83. 



Flower-Garden. — Continue to protect beds of Hyacinths, Tulips, &c. 

 Carnations in pots should be encouraged by manure water, &c. in or- 

 der to grow them vigorously : care in striking will be required. By 

 the middle of the month, half hardy annuals, as China Asters, Mari- 

 golds, &c. — may be planted out in the open borders. Some of the 

 best kinds may be potted, as done to the more tender sorts. Many 

 kinds of greenhouse plants — as Petunia, Salpiglossises, Salvias, 

 Fuchsias, Heliotropes, &c. — should now be planted out in the open 

 border. Dahlias, that have been forwarded in pots, frames, &c. may 

 be planted out towards the end of the month. Seedlings may be 

 pricked out in a warm situation, having a deep, fresh, rich soil. When 

 Stocks, Mignionette, China Asters, &c. are wished to bloom late in 

 the year, seeds may now be sown, either under frame, or on a warm 

 border. Slips of Double Wallflowers should now be put in under a 

 hand-glass. Seeds of biennials — as Sweet Williams, Scabious, Cam- 

 pions, &c. — should now be sown. Tube-roses, for late flowering, 

 should now be planted, either in pots or warm borders.
