APRIL. 85 



HOT-BEDS. 



Line the old, or prepare fresh hot-beds for receiv- 

 ing the tender Annuals sown in either of the two 

 last months. 



Plant the Annuals out from the seeding bed, three 

 or four inches asunder, which will be sufficient 

 growing space for a month to come, when they 

 should be again thinned out to other beds. 



Take up and treat the plants in the fresh hot-beds 

 as already directed. The seeds which were early 

 sown last month, will be ready for pricking out now. 

 If the sowing has not yet taken place, there is still 

 time for it. 



HALF-HARDY ANNUALS. 



Sow in moderate hot-beds some of the half-hardy 

 Annuals, viz. China Asters, India Pinks, Marygolds, 

 (French and African,) common Balsams, Chrysan- 

 themums, Amaranthus, &c. Beds, such as are made 

 for gherkins, and hooped over for occasional shelter, 

 will answer well at this advanced season, if frames 

 are not available. 



HARDY ANNUALS. 



Sow hardy Annuals now in patches in the borders 

 and beds. 



CARNATIONS. 



Sow Carnation seed as directed in the ensuing 

 month.
