REFERENCE TO PLATE. 



The Panseys in the plate of the present number are seedlings raised by Mr. 

 Barratt, Nurseryman, Wakefield, who will give notice by advertisement when he 

 can supply plants of the kinds. They rank among the most superb sorts vol 

 raised. 



Mhiinhis Ranbyania, This very splendid flowering Mimnlus Mas raised by the 

 gardener at the Dowager Duchess of Newcastles, Ranby Hall, near Retford. The 

 stock was purchased by Mr. Clark, Nurseryman, Retford, and a plant of it we sau 

 in bloom, very far exceeded anything of the kind we ever saw, being about three 

 feet high and spreading proportionably. 



FLORICULTURAL CALENDAR FOR JULY. 

 Pleasure Ground, Flower Garden, &c. — Those annual plants that have 

 not yet been transplanted out, should now be done, in cloudy and showery weather, 

 keeping as much earth to their roots as possible, now supporting those with sticks 

 that require it. Tender annuals may now be turned out into the flower borders ; 

 they should be refreshed at least once a day with water, and if the sun be very 

 powerful they will require to be shaded, till they have taken fresh root: those that 

 remain to flower in pots, must be frequently supplied with water, repotting, &c, as 

 they require it. Finish transplanting perennial and biennial plants, sown in 

 spring. Double Sweet Williams should now be laid. Those Carnations in pots 

 require particular attention in keeping them well supplied with water, and to sup- 

 port 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 

 thev will soon get scorched and dried up : thay should be finished layering by the 

 middle of the month. 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. Transplant seedling Auriculas and Polyanthuses, and keep them in a 

 shady place. Pansies may still be propagated by slips of the young shoots ; the 

 seed should be sovni either in pots or borders, in a shady place, and well supplied 

 with moisture. All sorts of Roses (with the exception of the China and its varie- 

 ties,) should now be budded. Many sorts of bulbous-rooted plants, as Ranun 

 ouluses, Tulips', Anemones, &c, which will now be past flowering, and their leaves 

 decayed, should be taken up, well dried, cleaned, and the offsets separated, and put 

 in a cool airy place, till the planting season again commences. The double scar 

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

 tings' will easily take root if placed in a 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 

 produce double flowering plants. Towards the end of the month, Roses may be 

 budded : the first week in August is however considered better. An article is senl 

 on the subject for that month.
