92 MONTHLY NOTICES. 



Some evergreens may yet be removed, as laurels, laurusti- 

 nus, Portugal laurel, cistuses, arbutus, magnolias, pyracan- 

 thas, &c. 



Propagate auriculas, by slipping off their suckers and off- 

 sets, this month. 



Sow carnation and polyanthus seeds still. Sow, also, pe- 

 rennial and biennial seeds. 



Where any perennial or biennial fibrous-rooted flowers 

 are wanted, transplant them only in the first week of this 

 month, and they must have each a good ball of earth attached 

 to them ; but this work should be completed in February, or 

 March at farthest. 



Every sort of annual may now be sown. 



Take care of your hyacinths, tulips, ranunculuses, and 

 anemones now, for they will be hastening into bloom. 



Place your auriculas, hyacinths, &c., which may be in pots, 

 in a sheltered place, during heavy rains or winds; and shel- 

 ter those flowers which are in the borders as well as you can. 

 Trim them from dead leaves. 



Keep your lawn and grass walks nicely mown and rolled, 

 and your borders free from weeds and rubbish. 



Propagate perennial fibrous-rooted plants by cuttings. 



Propagate double wall-flowers by slips of the young 

 shoots of the heads. 



Sow annuals for succession; such as sweet-peas, nastur- 

 tiums, lavatera, lupines, flos Adonis, &c. 



Take up those hyacinths, tulips, &c,, which have done 

 flowering, and dry them in the shade to put away. 



Weeds grow quickly now : hoe them up wherever you 

 see them. Support all flowers with sticks; train them up- 

 right. Clear away all the dead leaves from your carnations, 

 and gently stir the earth round them with your smallest 

 trowel. 



Look round the borders now, and take off irregular shoots. 



Propagate carnations by layers and pipings. Propagate 

 double sweet-williams and pinks by layers and cuttings or 

 slips. 



Propagate perennial fibrous-rooted plants by cuttings of 

 the stalks.
