OF WATERING. 



~i~ * " . , ^ " iX" i * 



The intensity of the heat being over for the season, 

 the heavy dews during night will prevent so much ab- 

 sorption amongst the plants. They will, in general, 

 especially by the end of the month, require limited sup- 

 plies of water comparatively to their wants in the sum- 

 mer months. Be careful amongst the Geraniums that 

 were repotted in August, not to water them until the 

 new soil about their roots is becoming dry. , Syringing 

 in this month may be suspended in time of heavy dews, 

 but in dry nights resort to it again. 



The herbaceous plants and those of a succulent na- 

 ture must be sparingly supplied. The large trees that 

 were put in new earth will require a supply only once 

 a week, but in such quantity as will go to the bottom of 

 the tubs. 



PREPARING FOR TAKING IN THE PLANTS. 



About the. end of the month all the plants should be 

 examined and cleaned in like manner as directed for 

 those of the Hot-house last month, which see. From 

 the 1st to the 8th of October is the most proper time 

 to take them into the Green-house, except those of a 

 half hardy nature, which may stand out till the appear- 

 ance of frost. All the Geraniums that were put in the 

 shade after shifting, may after the 10th be fully exposed, 

 which will in some degree prevent them from being weak. 

 Turn them in such a manner as will make them grow 

 equally. Always endeavour to have these plants short
