FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 



Pelargoniums should now be repotted. The plants should be well 

 shaken out of the old earth, and placed again in the same sized pots, in a 

 good compost; after potting, place them in a warm, half-shady place, or, if 

 at hand, an old frame, where they may remain a fortnight, till well rooted : 

 they may be then exposed to the full sun to ripen the wood. Cuttings put 

 in last month should now be potted off. 



Neapolitan violets should now be planted out in frames where they are 

 intended to remain during the winter. If properly protected, they will 

 bloom from December till May. Plants intended for the greenhouse should 

 now be potted off. 



Dahlias will now be coming into bloom, and should be carefully tied up 

 and properly pruned ; if the situation is dry, mulching will greatly promote 

 the growth of the plants. 



White lilies may be taken up, parted, and reset, this month. 



Carnations and Picotees, of choice kinds, should be taken up and potted, 

 preparatory to wintering them in frames.

 sized pots.

 stage till February.
