HORTICULTURAL MEMORANDA 



FOR AUGl'ST. 



FRUIT DEPARTMENT. 



Grape vines will continue to need attention: syringe often if they do 

 not yet show too much color, and give good airings. Tie up all shoul- 

 ders, and be careful to cut away all useless and superfluous wood. 

 Vines in the open air should not be allowed to run together, but should 

 be kept pruned and nailed or tied up. 



Straioben'y beds may be made and planted this month. If the weath- 

 er is dry defer it till early in September. Plants for forcing should be 

 repotted. 



Fniit trees should be budded this month. 



Peach and other fruit trees, in pots, should be duly watered, and if 

 the pots are plunged it will save labor. 



FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 



Geraniums should be headed down if it has not been done before 

 this time. Propagate by cuttings.

 syringed. Thin out the buds when too numerous. Inarching may be 

 done this month.
