We have advanced so much on this subject, another 

 observation is not necessary ; except as to succulents, 

 which are frequently overvvatered about this period. 

 Before they begin to grow, once a week is sufficient. 



OF BRINGING OUT THE GREEN-HOUSE PLANTS. 



Those trees or plants of Orange, Lemon, Myrtle, Ne- 

 rium, &c. that were headed down with the intention of 

 planting them into the garden, to renovate their growth, 

 should be brought out and planted in the situations in-

 when they are lifted they might go into the same pot 

 or tub, or perhaps a less one. This being done, the 

 plants, generally in a calm day from the 12th to the 18th 

 of the month, should be taken out, carrying them di- 

 rectly to a situation shaded from the sun, and protected 

 from the wind. In regard to a situation best adapted 

 for them during summer, see Hot-house this month,which 

 will equally apply to Green-house plants, except Daphne 

 odora, Daphne hybrida, and the Green- house spe- 

 cies of Coronilla, which must be shaded from every ray 

 of the sun, and even from dry parching winds. All
