iS 3 7 hae lee is and Polyanthuses, Carnations, Pinks, Bo 
f &c., should be placed in their winter quarters, ina 
dry, sunny, sheltered spot, but, at the same time, where a free circu- 
lation of air can be admitted on all proper occasions. The surface soil 
must be loosened, and a slight sprinkling of fresh compost be spread 
over it. Any plants out in the open beds, as Lobelias, &c., should be 
taken up and potted for winter preservation in pits, frames, &c. In 
taking up the bulbs of Tigridias, let all the soil be retained that will 
adhere, and allow them to be preserved therein ; it will gradually dry, 
and they will be preserved very perfect. Chrysanthemums grown in 
the open ground, and required for blooming in-doors, should be taken 
up as entire as possible, and be potted with due care ; they will bloom 
fine. All tender kinds of plants, as Scarlet Geraniums, Verbenas, in 
fact every kind requiring winter protection, should be housed imme- 
diately ; it is bad policy to put off a single day longer. Already we 
have had slight frost which has injured the tender things in some 
places; it is very probable a sudden and severe visit will soon occur. 
All plants like light ; place them as near to the glass as convenience 
will allow, the farthest off the worst. Tender Roses, grown out of 
doors, should have protection over the roots, &c., or be taken up and 
housed. (See Calendar for October, 1848, relative to soil, planting, &c.) 
Dauntras.— Let the crown of the roots be covered, heaping a few 
inches deep of soil around the stems. 
Suruss of all kinds may now be planted. (See remarks in our 
September Calendar.) 
Suruss, &c., FOR WinTeER Bioom.—Such as are. to bloom early 
should be gradually prepared, potted immediately, if required, and by 
the middle of the month introduce such as are desired to bloom by 
Christmas into the house or pit. The kinds which are well deserving 
such attention are Roses, Honeysuckles, Jasmines, Azaleas, Kalmias, 
Persian Lilacs, Andromedas, Carnations, Pinks, of which Anne Boleyn 
is the best, Rhododendrons, Rhodora, Deutzias, Ribes, Spirea pruni- 
folia, Mezereum, Gardenias, Cupheas, Heliotropes (the new blue is 
fine), Scarlet Pelargoniums, Cactus, Eranthemums, Justicias, Salvia, 
Gesnerias, Correas, Chinese Primrose, Aconites, Mignonette, Prim- 
roses, Cinerarias, Stocks, Persian Iris, Crocus, Cyclamens, Sweet 
Violets, Hyacinths, Lily of the Valley, &e.

If the stock is not housed, it ought to be done immediately, and, as 
has been observed in a former Calendar, much judicious attention is 
necessary in the placing properly a mixed collection of plants. Care
