SEPT.] THE PLEASURE, OR 491 



Towards the latter end of the month begin to pot off singly, 

 such young tender plants as were raised from seed this year, and 

 that stand too close together where growing. These should be 

 immediate placed in the shade for about three weeks till newly 

 rooted, after which place them in a warm exposure till the ap- 

 proach of frost, when they must be removed into the Green-house, 

 or placed under the protection of frames and glasses, Sec. 



THE PLEASURE, OR FLOWER-GARDEN. 



Carnations and Pinks. 



YOUR late carnation and pink layers, must now be taken off, as 

 soon as they are well rooted, and be treated as directed in July and 

 August ; the earlier in the month that you can do this, the better 

 will the plants be rooted before winter. 



Towards the end of the month you may transplant from the 

 nursery-beds, the seedling pinks and carnations, into such beds 

 and borders as you intend them to flower in ; observing to take 

 each plant up with a ball of earth, and to give it some water when 

 newly planted. 



Auriculas. 



The auricula plants still require due attention, but particularly 

 those shifted last month ; they must yet be kept in the shade and 

 moderately watered, as often as the earth appears rather dry, to 

 promote a free growth and a good supply of new roots before 

 winter. 



If the shifting had been neglected last month it may yet be done, 

 but the beginning of August is a more eligible period. 



Particular care must now be taken to keep the auricula seedlings, 

 as well as the old plants, free from decayed leaves and weeds of 

 every kind, to keep the earth about them in a moderate state of 

 moisture, that the plants may grow freely and obtain strength before 

 winter. 



Sowing seeds of Bulbous rooted flowers. 



This will be a very proper time to sow the seeds of Tulips, 

 Hyacinths, and of every other kind of bulbous rooted flowers, that 

 have perfected seed in the preceding part of the season. These 

 seeds should be sown separately, in boxes filled with good sound 

 garden mould, mixed with a small portion of sand, or with Hyacinth
