 approach of rain, or immediately after, especially for pre- 

 carious seeds, and young seedling plants. Attend to the

FLOWER DEPARTMENT.. 



Greenhouse plants will need daily care at this season ; 

 let them be watered every evening in dry weather. Such 

 Geraniums as may have grown large and unwieldly, should 

 now be pruned, in order that their size and appearance 

 may be improved, 219. 



Garden Roses having done flowering for the season, 

 should also be pruned. Cut out all old exhausted wood, 

 and were it is too thick and crowded, shorten such shoots 

 as have flowered, to a good fresh strong eye, or bud, accom- 

 panied with a healthy leaf. All wood that grows after this 

 pruning, will ripen perfectly, and produce large flowers the- 

 ensuing year.
