i 



tions are given for the planting of these in the two pre- 

 ceding months. 



Repot Riibus roscefolius, or Bramble-rose. They 

 should have pots one size larger than those they are 

 now in. To make them flower profusely, when done 

 blooming in May, divide them and put only a few stems 

 in one pot, and repot them in this month, as above 

 directed.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. 



4| 



Any herbaceous plants in the collection ought to be 

 set aside, and the water in part withheld. When the 

 stems and foliage are decayed, the plants may be put 

 in a cool cellar, where they will not be in danger of 

 frost, and be permitted to remain there until they 

 begin to grow; then bring them to the light, and treat 

 as directed for these kinds of plants. Deciduous 

 plants may be treated in a similar manner.
