 gans, and stock plants of Lantanas, for the last time until 

 they are placed in winter quarters. 64 72. 



28th. Shook out and overhauled stock Fuchsias that 

 have been injured by exposure outdoors to heavy rains. 

 62 75. 



29th. The same.

SEPTEMBER, 1868. 



1st. Potted off cuttings of new Bouvardias that were 

 put in on the 13th inst., only about one-half of which have 

 rooted, owing to too high a temperature. 72 80. 



2nd. Shifted Safrano and other Roses thus early, so 

 that they may become sufficiently rooted in the pots to 

 force for winter flowers. 65 70. 



3rd. Cut back Petunias, shrubby Calceolarias*, Cen- 

 taureas, &c., to produce young shoots for cuttings, which 

 they will do by the end of the month. The hard growth of 

 the flowering shoots, or even the ordinary growth of the 

 blind shoots made in summer, is too hard for the purpose. 

 See the necessary condition of the cutting in Chapter on 

 Propagation. 56 60. 



4th. The same. 50 61. 



5th. Lifted and potted Bouvardias from the open 

 ground and placed them against a north wall outdoors. 

 Careful attention is necessary in shading and watering 

 until they begin to root. 55 58. 



7th. The same. 64 62. 



8th. Put in cuttings of Mrs. Pollock and other golden 

 tricolor Geraniums in propagating house. The propaga- 

 tion of all classes of Geraniums will now be continued from 

 the plants growing outdoors, from now to the end of the 

 month. The plants of such as are wanted for stock are lifted 

 and potted, as soon as cut down for cuttings. 60 61.
