306 DIRECTION'S FOR EACH MONTH. 



If any plants are left of Columbines, &c. plant them out 

 where they are to remain. 



Any Carnation layers that want taking off should be 

 attended to, or any Pink pipings that were not strong 

 enough before. 



If not done before, plant all the offsets of bulbs. 



The latter end of this month, if the nights appear likely 

 to be frosty, water all plants in the morning, before the sun 

 comes on them. 



Cut down Perennials that have done blowing, and 

 gather seeds as they ripen. 



Plant a few Ten Weeks Stocks for succession. 



The best Carnation layers should be put into small pots, 

 two and three in each ; then place them in the shade till 

 they have taken root afresh in the pots ; afterwards put 

 them in a more open situation till the end of October ; then 

 put them into the frames, and occasionally cover them, or 

 plunge the pots into coal ashes or sand up to the rim, put- 

 ting glasses over them occasionally. They must be guarded 

 from snow and severe frosts through the winter. 



The best sorts of Pinks must be served in the same way. 



Plant cuttings of Laurel, and any other Evergreens 

 that are raised by this method in a shady border. 



Take up the different Lilies, if the leaves are decayed, 

 and next month plant them again, previously taking off the 

 offsets. 



Turf may now be laid, if wanted. 



Sow several sorts of the hardy Annuals ; if the winter 

 is not too severe, they will blow strong in the spring.
