128 PRIMROSES, POLYANTHUS, AND DAISIES. [November. 



cellar-floor, and place the roots closely thereon, covering 

 them to the stem with dry sand, laying mats over all : in 

 this manner they preserve till spring in the most perfect 

 order. They can also be kept in a cool green-house ; but 

 must be protected from drippings of water falling upon 

 them. 



TUBEROSES, TIGRIUIAS AND AMARYLLIS. 



These tubers and bulbs, as soon as the frost has partly 

 injured the foliage, should be taken up, and dried tho- 

 roughly in the sun, taking care, at all times, to keep them 

 clear from frost. When they are dry, divest them of their 

 foliage and fibres, and pack them in boxes with dry sand 

 or moss. Store these away for the winter, either in a 

 room or a dry cellar, where they will, at all times, be ex- 

 empt from frost, the least touch of which would destroy 

 them. AVe have kept them completely secure in the 

 cellar. 



ERYTHRINAS. 



Where there any plants of E. herbacea, E. laitrifolia, 

 and E. crisfa-gdlla, which are intended to be lifted, they 

 should be carefully done and preserved in half dry earth, 

 and kept beside the Dahlias. They are magnificent orna- 

 ments in the flower garden. 



PRIMROSES, POLYANTHUS AND DAISIES, 



That were planted in a sheltered spot, as directed last 

 month, should have a frame placed over them, and their 

 covering in readiness for the approach of winter; giving 

 the plants a light covering of leaves, which will preserve 

 their foliage from the effects of frost.
