June and July.~] ROOMS REPOTTING. 



CAPE BULBS. 



Any of these that are done flowering, such as Ixia, Oxa- 

 lis, Lachenalia, &c., as soon as the foliage begins to decay, 

 turn the pots on their sides, which will ripen the roots, 

 and, when perfectly dry, clear them from the soil, wrap 

 them up in paper, with their names attached, and put them 

 carefully aside until the time of planting. 



REPOTTING. 



Where it is required, repot Cactus, Jlloe, Mesembrydn- 

 themiims, and all other succulents, with any of the Ama- 

 ryllis that are required to he kept in pots ; also, Cape Jas- 

 mines. For description of the above, see hot-house and 

 green-house of this month, under the same head. 



JUNE AND JULY. 



THE only attention requisite to these plants is, in giving 

 water, keeping them from being much exposed to either 

 sun or high winds, and preventing the attack of insects. 

 Water must be regularly given every evening, when there 

 has not been rain during the day. Where they are in a 

 growing state, they are not liable at this season of the year 

 to suffer from too much water, except in a few instances, 

 such as the Lemon-scented Geranium, and those kinds that 

 are tuberose-rooted, as rfrdens, Sicolor, Tristum, &c., 

 which should have moderate supplies. 



All the plants ought to be turned round every few weeks 

 to prevent them from growing to one side, by the one being 

 more dark than the other, and keep those of a straggling 

 growth tied neatly to rods. Wherever insects of any de- 

 scription appear, wash them off directly. Give regular 

 syringings or sprinklings from the rose of a watering-pot.
