 they do remarkably well) and are in the ground, have 

 them carefully lifted before the end of the month, and 

 planted in six or seven inch pots, with light loamy soil. 

 Place them in the shade till they take fresh root, and 

 give them frequent sprinklings of water. As soon as 

 the foliage becomes erect, expose them to the full sun, 



and treat as Green-house plants.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



These very ornamental plants blooming so late, and 

 at a period when there are few others in flower, one of 

 each variety (or two of some of the finest) should be 

 lifted and put in 8 inch pots, in light loamy soil, and 

 treated as above directed for Stocks, &c. These will 

 flower beautifully from October to December, and when 

 done blooming the pots may be plunged in the garden, 

 or covered with any kind of litter, until spring, when 

 they can be divided and planted out.
