Care of choice Plants in Pots. 

 The campanulas, rockets, stocks, wall-flowers, &c. 

 in pots, placed as directed in September, in a situa- 

 tion where they maybe defended from bad weather, 

 should also be cai'efully attended to at this season. 

 A few of any, or of each of them, may be placed 

 in a stove or forcing-house, in order to bring them 

 forward for flowering in the green-house, or the 

 drawing-room ; and may be treated as above no- 

 ticed of carnations. 



Cai^e of choice Bulbs. 

 The beds of choice hvacinths, if not covered as 

 directed in November (which see), should now be 

 covered, in order to preserve them from severe 

 frosts. If the weather be very changeable and wet, 

 they should be defended from its bad effects by 

 hoops and mats, or canvas covers, as directed in. 

 March ; which covers, however, should always be 

 removed in dry weather, and should only be ap- 

 plied in the time of heavy rains. Snow will do less 

 harm ; and if covered as directed in November, the 

 loots will be safe from the effects of frost. 



Of blowing Bulbous Flowers in Water , or in Earth. 



Of this, see the article Green-house, for October 

 and November, where the subject is fully treated of, 

 and the kinds of roots are specified. If roots, how- 

 ever, have not been planted, or put in water, as then 

 directed, they may now very properly be planted.
