A NEW OUTLOOK 



a slope from back to front. A fringe of some dwarf 

 plant along the front will, by hiding the pots and boxes, 

 impart a neat finish to the group. Exercise great care 

 in watering for a few days after housing. The plants 

 may be a little limp for a few days, and much water will 

 be bad. The plants should be kept under close obser- 

 vation for a few days. Watering may be resumed when 

 they are seen to be freshening up again. Give plenty of 

 air in fine weather. If mildew should appear, dust with 

 flowers of sulphur. When the plants settle down to 

 their new surroundings the buds will swell rapidly, and 

 liquid manure may be given twice a week. 



Cinerarias and Her- 

 baceous Calceolarias. — If 

 the advice to keep these 

 plants in cold frames 

 through the summer has 

 been followed, they 

 ought to be strong and 

 sturdy now. They may 

 be kept in the frames 

 for a week or two longer 

 if thick mats are placed 

 over the lights at night 

 in cold weather, but the 

 sooner they are put into 

 a heated house the 

 better. 



Lifting Dahlias and 

 Cannas. — We expect to 

 have Dahlias in beauty 

 for the early part of 

 October at all events, and we hope that absence of frost 

 will permit them to go on flowering for the whole of the
