by uniting the two barks, combines the advantages 

 of grafting with those of budding. It is not essen- 

 tially necessary to take the wood out of the buds of 

 Roses, which it is sometimes difficult to do. 



WORK TO BE DONE IN THE GREEN-HOUSE. 



Take cuttings or layers of the plants first enume- 

 rated, (excepting the annual plants, and the Jacobea 

 Lily, which is propagated by offsets,) which are easily 

 propagated in this way. Cuttings of most other 

 green-house plants may also now be made, though 

 an earlier period would have been better, in order 

 to have the plants strong before the winter. The 

 herbaceous sorts to be planted in light loam, with 

 mild heat, and under shade ; the woody, in fine sand, 

 under glasses ; they should be of the same year's 

 growth, cut at a joint, kept moderately moist, and 

 also shaded from the sun. 



Plant cuttings of Rockets and double scarlet Lych- 

 nis, when done flowering the latter to be placed 

 under a cap-glass. 



This is a good time for taking cuttings of Myrtles, 

 which should be planted in light rich earth ; shade 

 and water them until they shall have rooted. Ge- 

 raniums, and other shrubby Exotics, are to be treated 

 in the same manner. Transplant into larger pots 

 the seedlings raised in the spring, and put the very 

 tender ones into fresh hot-beds ; those which are less 

 delicate, will only require to be shaded, and sheltered 

 under glass until they root. 



Take care to give plenty of air to the green-house, 

 and to shade the plants during strong sunshine.
