MAY MORNS 



may be replanted, and new ones made, in order to May 

 provide a summer display of bloom. Bulbs from boxes 

 may be transferred to the garden. Zonal Geraniums, 

 Fuchsias, white and yellow Marguerites, Celosias, Cam- 

 panulas, Asters, Ivy-leaved Geraniums and Tropoeolums 

 are all useful for window boxes in summer. The soil 

 should be fresh, and consist mainly of fibrous loam. 

 There should be holes in the bottom of the boxes to 

 permit of surplus water escaping. 



Plants inside windows, such as Spiraea Japonica and 

 Pelargoniums, ought now to be in full beauty and will 

 enjoy plenty of water. Foliage plants, such as Aralias, 

 Aspidistras, and India-rubber Plants may be repotted. 

 Ferns may also be repotted. Palms should be sponged, 

 watered, and given air. 



Chinese Primulas may be sown for flowering the 

 following year. 



Water Lilies may be planted in ponds or in prepared 

 pools or tubs, Nymphaeas are particularly attractive. 



Young Coleuses may be repotted and given a light 

 position in order to develop rich colour in the leaves. 

 Bouvardias may be repotted when they start growing, 

 and placed in a frame. Berry Solanums might also be 

 repotted, but it saves trouble to plant them in the garden, 

 and pot them up in September. 



A selection of Chrysanthemums, suitable for flower- 

 ing in beds and borders during late summer and autumn, 

 may be made, and the young plants put out. If desired 

 they may be planted in a nursery bed, and transplanted 

 to the positions where they are to bloom when the 

 flower buds show. 



A selection of Dahlias may be made, and the young 

 plants put out in deep, rich soil towards the end of the 

 month.
