HORTICULTURAL MEMORANDA 



FOR NOVEMBER. 



FRUIT DEPARTMENT. 



Grape Vines, by this time, will probably have the fruit nearly or 

 quite all cut. The leaves will now begin to fall, and the wood will 

 ripen very fast. Give an abundance of air in fine weather, but con- 

 tinue to close up the house early on cold nights. Neither syringing 

 nor watering will be required now. 



Strawberry beds will need some care. If the weeds continue to 

 grow, they should be destroyed. 



Raspberry plantations may be made this month, with good suc- 

 cess. 



Currant and Gooseberry bushes may be set out in November, and 

 they will do well next season. 



Fruit trees, of all sorts, may be planted this month with safety. 

 In some situations we think the autumn the most favorable time. 



FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 



The Dahlias should all be taken up immediately, if not already 

 done, and placed away iu the cellar; or, if there is a green-house, 

 under the stage. See that each root is carefully marked, and the 

 label secured by copper wire. 



Tulips and Hyacinths should be planted as soon in the month as 

 may be convenient, though they will do well any time, as long as 

 the ground continues open. 



Roses, in the open ground, should be taken up and potted, and 

 placed in a frame or green-house. 



Calla cethiopica should now be potted. 



PcEonies may be successfully removed this month. 



Oxalis cernua, rosea, and versicolor, may be potted this month. 



Verbenas should be protected in a frame, or in the green-house. 



Camellias will now begin to be objects of more attention, as they 

 commence swelling their buds. See that they are duly watered. 

 The seeds may be planted now. 



Azaleas will need attention. They will not require much water 

 at this season. 



Ixias and Sparaxises should all be repotted this month. 



Ericas. — Any cuttings, now rooted, should be potted off. 



Erythrina crista galli roots should be placed in the cellar. 



Ten week stocks should now be removed to a frame or the green- 

 house. 



Hardy perennial plants may yet be transplanted with safety. 



Carnations should be protected by a frame. 



Beds of Pansies should be protected by a thin covering of leaves. 



Cactuses may be grafted at this season. 



Annual floiver seeds, such as coreopsis, double larkspur, clarkias, 

 godetias, candytufts, Silene compacta, &c., should be sown this 

 month, for early spring flowering. 



Mignonette should be carefully watered this month.
