312 A GUIDE TO FLORICULTURE. 



quired ; a room, therefore, that is kept very warm in the 

 day time, and the frost allowed to penetrate at night, creates 

 too great a change for any variety of plants. If uniformity 

 cannot be obtained keep them in the coldest part of the 

 room, as the change would not be felt so much. A pit 

 made about six feet deep, covered with glass, is preferable 

 to the green-house for the Camellia, and when the plants 

 are ready to expand they can be removed to the parlor, to 

 perfect their flowers. 



Geranium cuttings should be potted off, and moderately 

 watered ; Rose cuttings put down in June will be fit to pot 

 off Canterbury Bells and Foxgloves intended for early 

 flowering should be potted for that service. Oranges, Le- 

 mons, Oleanders, and similar shrubs and trees should be 

 placed out of reach of frost. Hydrangeas, Fuchsias, Glox- 

 inias, and other tender deciduous plants, should be 

 watered sparingly, as their time of rest is drawing nigh. 

 Auriculas, Polyanthuses, and all other Primulas should be 

 removed into the house. In mild weather give all plants 

 just removed into the house all the air possible, which will 

 cause them to feel the change lightly; but guard against 

 frost. 



NOVEMBER. 



The busy time is not yet over ; much has to be done, 

 more especially if planting and transplanting were omitted
