HORTICULTURAL MEMORANDA 



FOR FEBRUARY. 



FRUIT DEPARTMENT. 



Grape Vines, in the greenhouse, will now begin to swell their buds, and 

 ■will need some attention. As soon as it is perceived that they begin to 

 swell, the vines should be syringed morning and evening, until the eyes are 

 evenly broken. The temperature of the house should be evenly kept, at 

 about 45° to 50° at night, for the first fortnight, and from 50° to 55°, the 

 last fortnight of the month. In cold houses, the temperature should be 

 kept low, by opening a few of the sashes, in the middle of the warmest days, 

 as too much heat might prematurely cause the buds to swell. Cuttings 

 may now be put in, if young vines are wanted. 



Fig Trees, in pots, should be liberally watered, and frequently syringed. 



Peach Trees, in pots, may still be brought in for a succession. 



Strawberries, in pots, now introduced from a frame, on to a warm shelf, 

 •will bear abundantly. 



Scions, of fruit trees, may be cut now, and they may be safely kept in a 

 cool place. 



Cuttings, of quinces, currants, &c., may be taken off now, for the pur- 

 pose of raising young plants, if they are wanted. 



FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 



Pelargoniums should be attended to carefully^ Keep the plants free 

 from the green fly : top all rapidly growing shoots, and keep the branches
