BEAUTY OF FORM IN THE FLOWER GARDEN.

growth begins. The renewal of growth is indicated by the unrolling of 

 the young leaves, which may be in April or May,accordingto the winter. 

 Bamboos are very difficult to kill outright, but treated improperly they 

 are apt to get into a stunted condition, which it takes them along time 

 to recover from. I would advise those who wish to try these plants to 

 obtain them from the nurserymen in autumn or winter, if they have 

 been grown in pots, and to give them greenhouse treatment till the 

 end of May, when they can be planted out in a growing state ; but, 

 on the other hand, if they have been planted out in the nursery 

 ground, not to have them sent off till the end of April or later, when 

 they can be set out at once.
