terspersed among the other plants, a good display may be kept up the whole 

 month. As the nights become cool very slight fires should be lighted, 

 just sufficient to dry up ihe damp and take off the chill of the atmosphere ; 

 recollecting, that the higher the temperature the more likely to excite the 

 plants and render them susceptible of cold ; a low temperature should be 

 maintained therefore at this season of the year. 



Camellias will now begin to bloom ; in good weather syringe the plants 

 to keep them clean ; and water rather liberally at the root, especially such 

 kinds as begin to expand their buds. 



Chrysanthemums should have a good cool airy situation, where they will 

 expand their flowers better, and remain a longer time in bloom. Water lib- 

 erally, occasionally using liquid manure or guano. 



Pelargoniums should be rather sparingly watered, and wintered in an 

 airy, dry part of the house. Such as are growing too vigorously should 

 have the ends of their shoots pinched out. 



Chinese primroses should now be repotted. 



IxiAs and other Cape bulbs may be potted this month. 



Callas should be repotted now, and be more liberally supplied with 

 moisture. 



Azaleas must be kept rather dry during the early part of the winter. 



Gesneras for winter blooming should be repotted in good rich mellow 

 compost. 



Monthly Carnations, showing an abundant bloom, may be repotted. 



Cinerarias intended for fine large specimens, may be repotted this 

 month. 



Japan Lilies, in pots, should now have the shelter of a frame to keep 

 them from the heavy cold rains of this season. 



Stocks of all kinds for winter blooming, in pots, may be protected from 

 frost in cold frames. 



Roses for early blooming will now begin to show their buds. Later 

 flowering plants may be kept in frames till the approach of severe weather. 



Calceolarias may be repotted now, if growing freely. 



DiELYTRA spECTABiLis, taken up and potted now, will form one of the 

 most beautiful objects of the greenhouse in the early spring months. 



Hyacinths and other hardy bulbs, potted now, and placed away in a 

 cold frame, slightly protected from cold, flower beautifully in the green- 

 house, from February to May. 



Nemophylas and other annuals sown last month, may now be potted off 

 into small pots. 



Verbenas for winter blooming should have a light airy situation near the 

 glass. 



Cactuses, should now be sparingly watered, except the Epiphyllum 

 truncatum now coming into bloom. 



Petunias, Antirrhinums, &c., raised from cuttings, should be shifted 

 into pots, 3 or 4 plants in each, where they can stand till time to pot them 

 off in March. 



Insects must be looked after. Fumigate for the green fly.
