of the others, which are magnificent ornaments in the 

 Flower-garden. 



PRIMROSES, POLYANTHUS, AND DAISIES, 



That were planted in a sheltered spot, as directed 

 last month, should have a frame placed over them, and 

 their covering in readiness for the approach of winter; 

 giving the plants a light covering of leaves, which will 

 preserve their foliage from the effects of frost. 



CHOICE CARNATIONS, PINKS, AND AURICULAS, 



That are in pots, should be placed in the frame in- 

 tended for their abode during winter. If the pots are 

 plunged to the rims in tan, half decayed leaves, or saw 

 dust, it will greatly protect their roots from the severe 

 effects of frost. Where glass is used for these frames, 

 they should have besides a covering of boards, or straw 

 mats ; those that are in beds may be covered as above 

 directed for Primroses, &c. 



They ought not to be uncovered while in a frozen 

 state. It is not altogether the intensity of cold that 

 destroys these plants so much as the alternate thawing 

 and freezing. 



All half hardy plants, such as Wall-flower, German 

 stocks,Sweet-bay, tender roses, with several others, should 

 be protected as above directed for Carnations. Earth 

 or tan should be put round the outside of these frames, 

 which will be a partial shelter from the changing state 

 of the atmosphere. Oak leaves answer the purpose
