528 Horticultural Operations for November. 



Tree Violets in pots should not be forgotten ; nothing is prettier, or 

 adds more to the fragrance of a bouquet. Keep them out in frames as long 

 as possible. 



Trop^olum Lobbianum, is one of the finest winter flowering plants ; 

 shift into good sized pots, and train up to neat balloon trellises ; thus man- 

 aged they are the finest ornaments of the house the whole winter. 



Lachenaultias should now be repotted. 



Alstromerias should now be potted, and placed in a warmer part of the 

 house. 



Monthly Carnations arc great additions to a collection, particularly 

 the new French sorts. Secure a good stock of plants, place them in a light 

 airy place, and tie up neatly to stakes. 



CuPHEA Platycentra should now be shifted into larger pots. 



Chinese Primroses will now begin to bloom ; keep them free from 

 dead leaves, and water occasionally Avith very weak liquid manure. 



Mignonette and Sweet Allyssum in pots, should not be overwatered ; 

 thin out the plants to five or six in each pot, and keep as near the glass as 

 possible. 



Maurandias, of the different varieties, if neatly trained to handsome 

 trellises, are beautiful all winter. 



Hardy Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Weigelia, Spir^V Prunifolia 

 Pleno, &c., should now be potted for forcing, in all collections where there 

 is room. 



FLOWER garden AND SHRUBBERY. 



Now IS the time to make new plantations of shrubs, hardy herbaceous 

 plants, bulbs, &lc. 



Lilies of all kinds, except Canadensis, should now be set out, or reset. 



Dahlia roots should be taken up immediately, if not already done. 



Tulips, Hyacinths, and other hardy bulbs should now be planted. 



Gladioluses of all kinds should now be taken up and housed before 

 eevere frosts. 



Herbaceous Peonies should now be transplanted. 



Pansies, set out now in a small bed, and protected by a covering of leaves 

 and boards, will bloom beautifully in early spring. 



Neapolitan Violets, in frames, must be secured from severe frosts by 

 a covering of matts and straw. If properly attended to they will bloom 

 from December to May. 



Carnations may be wintered in pots, or in the ground, in frames. 



Herbaceous plants of all kinds will need protection of some kind be- 

 fore severe weather. Leaves or coarse strawy manure is the best, but if not 

 at hand, old tan, straw, or hay. 



Dig, trench and prepare ground intended to be planted with seeds early 

 in the spring.
