REFERENCE TO THE EMBELLISHMENTS. 



This summer we received a considerable number of flowering specimens 

 of seedling shrubby Calceolarias, &c. from Mr. Joseph Plant, florist, 

 Cheadlo, Staffordshire. We selected out what wo considered the most 

 handsome, and give a part of them in our present Number. Mr. Plant 

 >;ays he shall not be able to supply orders before next spring. 



FLORICULTURAL CALENDAR FOR OCTOBER. 



Annuals. — Seeds of most kinds will now be perfected, if not before ; they 

 should be gathered before frost operates upon them, or in many instances 

 the seeds will be destroyed by it, more particularly if there be wet witli the 

 frost. Seeds may still be sown in pots for planting out next spring. 



Auriculas. — The plants should now be taken into winter quarters, by 

 placing them in frames, &c. A layer of limo rubbish, or cual ashes, should 

 besprinkled over the surface; upon this prepared bed let bricks be laid in 

 rows, so that the pots can stand thus elevated, which admitting a free circu- 

 lation around the pots and plants, is very beneficial to the latter. At all 

 times through the winter, admit all possible air, so that the plants be pro- 

 tected from wet; and never water tho plants over the foliage, nor give any 

 to the roots till they are quite dry, particularly in frosty weather ; for during 

 its severity, the drier the roots are, the less will the plants suffer. 



Hir.NNiAi.s. — Plants of this class may now be successfully planted out, so 

 that they may *trike root before winter sets in. When biennials are delayed 

 planting out till spring, they do not bloom so vigorously or profusely as if 

 planted in uutumu. 



CAM koi.ahias. — Plants of the herbaceous class out in open borders, should 

 have any offsets taken off and potted, in order tt> have winter protection, and 

 be mifrMf plants for turning out next spring. 



Cuttings, or klips, of shrubby Calceolarias, Pelargonium!, Fuchsias, fltc., 

 may mill be successfully put off for striking; tho earlier in tho mouth, the 

 better they will succeed.
