MONTHLY CALENDAR. 151 



Such Orange trees as were budded last July or August, 

 should be headed down early in this month. 



Auriculas, Polyanthus, and Daisies, should be separated 

 into single tufts, and planted in a shady border for increase, 

 as soon as they have done blossoming. 



Such Carnations as may have been wintered in frames 

 should now be exposed to the open air, in the flower borders 



Tulips, which will be in full perfection by the middle of 

 this month, will require constant attention. 



Such green-house plants as may have done blossoming 

 may be pruned this month, and if the cuttings be planted at 

 this time they will strike freely, 101. 



Cuttings of Salvia splendens and fulgens will produce 

 strong plants for blossoming in August, if planted early in 

 this month. Chrysanthemum cuttings should now be put 

 down, and the suckers divided, and planted singly in bor- 

 ders, or in pots, for flowering in the autumn, 102. 



JUNE. 



The blushing glory and the pride of June, 

 Blooms the red Rose why should it fade so soon ! 

 E'en the gay Tulip finds a rival here, 

 Though rich in tints, warm, delicate, and clear. 



The principal sowing season may be considered as past ; 

 but if any failures should have happened of former sowings, 

 seed may be sown the early part of this month, which, if 

 kept watered occasionally, will grow quickly. 



Green-house plants will need watering every evening, in 

 dry warm weather ; and in the absence of dews, some sorts 

 may need a little in the morning at sunrise, 100 ; Hydran- 

 geas, Daisies, Polyanthus, Primulas, &c, should be kept 

 shaded from the noonday sun, or they will droop, and some 

 may die. Carnations and Pinks will need frequent waterings 

 at the roots, and the branches should be tied neatly to rods
