OBSERVATIONS 



FOR 



NOVEMBER. 



A CERTAIN portion of Anemone and Ranunculus 

 roots, if planted at this time, and protected from frost, 

 will blossom much stronger and earlier, and afford a 

 more abundant increase, than those planted in the 

 spring. 



DAHLIA. 



When the first light frost puts a stop to the bloom 

 of the Dahlia, let the roots be taken up, and laid by 

 the heels, in rows carefully separated, under a cover- 

 ing of four or six inches above their crowns, in a 

 sunny part of the garden ; this will, in general, be 

 found sufficient in this climate* to protect them till 

 spring ; but should circumstances require, as in the 

 instance of severe frost, an additional covering may 

 be given. They may also be thus protected where 

 they grow ; either method will be attended with less 

 loss and trouble, than the usual practice of stowing 

 .them in cellars or in sheds.
