purpose. Narcissus, Jonquils, Hyacinths, and Per- 

 sian Iris, may now be brought into the stove or 

 forcing frame. 



The bulbs may be forced in earth, water, or wet 

 moss. 



HALF HARDY PLANTS, 



OUT OF DOORS. 



The protection of these must, in this month, be 

 carefully attended to. Cover the crowns of the 

 Herbaceous with some light dry substance, as leaves, 

 turf-mould, or sand. 



TENDER BULBS. 



Ixias and African Gladiolus may also be treated 

 in the same manner as the Herbaceous plants. 



TENDER SHRUBS, 



TRAINED TO WALLS. 



Let these be protected by mats, boughs of ever- 

 green, thatch of fern or straw ; but the most par- 

 ticular attention should be paid to the protection 

 of the neck or collet of the shrub, which is that 

 part where the root and stem unite ; and which is 

 the part most liable to injury, and to protect which 

 from the severity of the winter is of the greatest 

 importance.
