 seeds may be sown the early part of this month, which if 

 kept watered occasionally, will grow quickly.

 dry warm weather ; and in the absence of dews, some 

 sorts may need a little in the morning at sunrise, 218-

 waterings at the roots, and the branches should be tied 

 neatly to rods. 



Such flowering shrubs as may have been planted late in 

 tjie Spring season, should be regularly watered in dry weather.
