MARCH.] GREEN-HOUSE OF ENARCHING, &c. J27 



, 



Never saturate with water fresh potted plants. There 

 are many kinds that, without injury, could be repotted 

 when growing ; but it requires an experienced operator 

 to decide. It would be of no material service to enu- 

 merate them here. When done potting, tie all up 

 neatly with stakes rather higher than the plant, that 

 the new shoots may be tied thereto during their stage 

 of growth, to prevent them from being destroyed by 

 the wind. There may be many that do not require re- 

 potting, but would be benefited by a top-dressing. 

 This should be done by probing off all the surface 

 earth down to the roots, replacing it with fresh com- 

 post, suitable to the nature of the plant. 



When the above is done, arrange all the plants in pro- 

 per order, and syringe them clean; but if there are any 

 of the Green-fly, they must be fumigated previous to 

 syringing. Take an opportunity, on the first fine day, 

 to wash out all the pavement of the house, which should 

 be made dry before the evening if the nights are cold. 

 Thus every part of the house will be in order before 

 the hurry of the garden commences. 



OF ENARCHING OR GRAFTING BY APPROACH, also termed 

 ABLACTATION. 



IN this method of grafting, the scion is not separated 

 from the parent plant until it is firmly united with the 

 stock; consequently, they must stand contiguously. 

 We intend the following method to apply directly to 

 Camellias, as they are the principal plants in the Green- 

 house that are thus worked. The criterion for the
