 pips begin to fade, turn them into the ground, and 

 let them remain there till near Michaelmas, when 

 you may again remove them into pots. Keep slugs 

 and snails from them. The Polyanthus in coming

 upon bricks, and shaded ; constant exposure to the 

 air soon tans the bright lemon-coloured eye and
