OBSERVATIONS 



FOR 



OCTOBER. 



The garden labors of this and the preceding 

 month are in many respects similar. The planting 

 and transplanting of many bulbous and fibrous-root- 

 ed plants may be executed in either of these months ; 

 the state of the season, and other circumstances, 

 such as opportunity and leisure, influencing the 

 florist as to the precise time for those operations. 

 In transplanting the hardy fibrous-rooted plants, As- 

 ters, Canterbury Bells, Hollyhocks, Monkshood, Po- 

 lyanthuses, Daisies, &c w intermix them in the bor- 

 ders so as to preserve a varied succession through 

 the flowering season, for it is bad taste to have one 

 portion of the garden displaying a profusion of 

 crowded beauties, and another comparatively with- 

 out them. 



WORK TO BE DONE IN THE FLOWER 

 GARDEN. 



At the latter end of this month you may put down 

 your Hyacinths, Tulips, and autumnal plantation of 

 Ranunculuses and Anemones. From that period
