WORK TO BE DONE IN THE FLOWER-GARDEN. 



Take up those bulbous roots which have ceased 

 flowering Hyacinths, Tulips, Martagon Lilies, and 

 such bulbous Irises as are out of flower. Ranun- 

 culus and Anemone roots, which have now lost their 

 foliage, may also be taken up. 



SEEDLING AURICULAS. 



Which came up last spring, should now (if not 

 before done) be potted, and placed in a shady situ-

 and slugs. 



.CARNATIONS AND PINKS. 



This is still a good season for propagating these 

 charming flowers by either of the modes directed 

 in June, but this work should not be postponed to 

 an advanced period of the month. As soon as the 

 shoots are strong enough to layer down, let them 

 be put out. 



The latter end of this month and beginning of 

 August is the usual season for layering Carnations, 

 which, however, may be done earlier, if the plants
