Azaleas done flowering should be repotted, pruned into shape, and placed 

 in a warm situation, if large and fine specimens are wanted. 



Cinerarias done flowering may have their tops cut oH, and the plants 

 removed to a cold frame. 



Tulip and hyacinth buds will require to be immediately uncovered ; as 

 soon as the shoots are well above the soil, choose a good dry day, and 

 carefully stir the surface of the earth with a stick or the hand ; nothing in- 

 vigorates their growth more than this. 



Ranunculus beds should be covered half an inch deep with sand : this 

 will prevent the drying winds from cracking and hardening the surface. 



Carnations and Picoteex, wintered in pots in frames, should now be shifted 

 into a larger size, if it is intended to grow them in pots ; and if m the ground, 

 a bed should be got ready, and prepared to receive them. 



Pansies, in pots or in frames, should soon be transplanted to a well prepared 

 bed, 80 as to get well established before dry weather ; sow the seeds now 

 for a succession of bloom. 



Calceolarias will need one more shift into the size they are to bloom. 

 Seeds may be sown now for a succession. 



Achimenes and Gloxinias of all kinds, will need another shift into larger 

 pots.

 off, will need a shift into a larger size. 



Cactuses should now be liberally watered. 



Chrysanthemums should now be propagated from cuttings. 



Ericas and Epacrises should now be headed well in, and placed in a cool 

 and airy situation, until the weather is sufficiently mild to admit of their be- 

 ing planted in the open air. Propagate from cuttings now. 



Hydrangeas, both japonica and the horttinsis, should now be shifted into 

 larger pots. 



Tuberoses should now be planted, and placed in a hot-bed, to forward iheir 

 growth.

 an airy shelf, and sparingly watered. 



Gladiolus gandavcnsis, and other summer flowering kinds, may be planted 

 out in the open ground, the last of the month. 



Pceonies, both the tree and herbaceous sorts, should now be transplanted. 



Rocket Larkspur seeds should be sown early, as the plants bloom much 

 stronger, than when the sowing is delayed. 



Balsams, Asters, Stocks, and other showy annual flower seeds, should 

 now be sown in pots or boxes, and brought forward in the hotbed, for 

 early blooming. 



Daphne odora may now be propagated from cuttings.
