10th. Potted off cuttings, and shifted into larger pots, 

 Chrysanthemum laciniatum (the winter-flowering variety). 

 72_7G. 



llth. The same. 74 78. 



12^. The same. 60 64. 



13th. Put in green cuttings of Bouvardia, Cissus, &c. 

 54_60. 



14th. Shifted for the last time this season Roses that 

 are to be used for winter flowering. 55 62. 



15th. The same. 



17th. Shifted Eupatoriums, Stevias, Poinsettias, and 

 other winter-flowering plants, for the last time this season. 

 The next shifting will be from the pots to planting out in 

 the benches. 66 74. 



18th. Washed the soil from the roots of Roses that have 

 become " pot bound," and repotted in new pots with fresh 

 soil. This practice we find very effectual to recuperate all 

 plants that have been stunted by any cause whatever. 64 

 72. 



19^. Topped Bouvardias, to keep them dwarf and 

 delay the flowering until the winter months. 70 80. 



20th. The same. 75 72. 

 . The same. 72 70. 

 . The same. 68 70. 



24th. Layered new sorts of Roses in pots, and put in 

 green cuttings of Bouvardias, Cissus, Clerodendrons, and 

 other plants of a tropical nature. (Note. September 5th. 

 This resulted successfully). 70 76. 



25th. Cut down stock plants of Pelargoniums, and put 

 in the shoots as cuttings. The Pelargoniums have been 

 kept under glass all summer, slightly shaded, and have 

 ripened their shoots finely, so that, no doubt, nearly every 

 cutting will grow. Great difficulty is always found with 

 the rooting of Pelargoniums that have been planted out. 

 The cut-down plants will, of course, receive no water un- 

 til they begin ta grow. 68 #4?.
