month, it may still successfully be done. Tliey 

 may either be planted out to nurse, on a shady bor- 

 der, or may be put into small pots three or four 

 inches, in diameter, to be repotted, as directed in 

 May. In the former case, the ground should be 

 pointed over and broke fine ; planting in lines, 

 across four-foot beds, at six or eight inches apart, 

 and three in line ; keeping the earth just a little 

 moist about them, till they have struck root, and 

 afterwards watering more freely. 



Those to be potted, should be planted in fine, 

 liglit earth, one in each pot ; and should be care- 

 fully v/atered and shaded till they have struck root, 

 'i'hcy may then be placed in a free, sunny situation, 

 and must be frequently watered ; perhaps once 

 a-day, or in two days, according to the state of the 

 weather. They will be fit for repotting in five or 

 &ix weeks. ' 



Of earthing and dressing plants in Pots. 

 The choice Campanulas, Rockets, Stocks, and 

 Wallflowers in pots, that have not been dressed and 

 new eartbed, as directed last month, should now 

 jiave that done without loss of time. Attend to these, 

 and ail other flov/ers in pots, in the article water, 

 and keep them free from weeds ; stirring the sur- 

 face of the eartli with the point of a stick, at times, 

 as it gets liardened ; which greatly encourages the 

 plant, and lets the water m.orc freely down to its 

 rootSo
