October.] GREEN-HOUSE OF REPOTTING. 283 



in a dark part of the house, where other plants will not 

 grow, studying to have the most tender kinds in the warmest 

 part, and giving gentle waterings every three or four weeks. 

 When all are arranged, give them a proper syringing, after 

 which wipe clean all the stages, benches, &c, sweeping out 

 all litter, and wash clean the pavement, which will give to all 

 a neat and becoming appearance. 



Let the waterings now be done in the mornings, as often 

 and in such quantities as will supply their respective wants, 

 xamining the plants every day. 



During the continuance of mild weather, the circulation of 

 air must be as free as possible, opening the doors and front 

 and top sashes regularly over the house. But observe in 

 frosty nights to keep all closely shut. Be attentive in clear- 

 ing off decayed leaves and insects. 



Any plants of Lagerstrtemia, Sterculia, Hydrangea, 

 Pomegranate, and others equally hardy, that are deciduous, 

 may be kept perfectly in a dry, light, airy cellar : give fre- 

 quent admissions of air, and one or two waterings during 

 winter.

 ering plants, and require a shaded situation. The latter is 

 now called Thalictrum anemoneoidcs. (Soil No. 11.)

 greens of great beauty and fragrance. Very few species of 

 them are in our collections. 1). odora, frequently called D.

 flowers, and valuable for the period of its flowering, being 

 from December to March, according to the situation ; leaves 

 scattered, oblong, lanceolate and smooth ; flowers small white, 

 in many flowered terminal heads; there is a variety equally 

 as fine with marginated foliage. D. odora rubra, the buds 

 are red, and the flowers rose white, of a delightful spicy fra- 

 grance. D hybrida is a species in high estimation at present 

 ; o Europe, but little known here being only in a few colleo
