390 CALENDAR JUNE. 



raised from seeds and cuttings, for late crops. Keep up, 

 by linings, the necessary temperature for ripening of the 

 fruit. Continue the cultivation of the pinery stated for 

 last month ; but, if you wish very large-sized fruit, and do 

 not care about preserving suckers, remove the whole suck- 

 ers from the stems and roots, and apply heat and water in 

 abundance. Shift suckers and succession-plants in the be- 

 ginning and middle of the month, as the state of the plants 

 may require. 



Vines and Peaches, fyc., may have the same treatment 

 as stated last month. Little water and a good deal of air 

 must be given to those houses where the fruit is beginning 

 to ripen. Those in which the fruit is past ought to be con- 

 stantly under a system of thorough ventilation. 



The Green-house will now be occupied with tender 

 green-house plants and annuals, and the more hardy plants 

 from the stove, for here these last will remain longer in 

 flower. Shift, repot, and propagate all fine plants, peren- 

 nials, biennials, or annuals, and cutting^ of all sorts that 

 are desirable. Sow fragrant or showy annuals, to flower 

 in pots during winter. 



Flower Garden. Take up bulbs and tuberous roots, 

 and dry them in the shade before you remove them to the 

 store-room. Fill up with annuals and green-house plants 

 those beds from which the bulbs and roots have been raised. 

 After this season, keep always a reserve of annuals in pots, 

 or planted on beds or thin layers of well-rotted hotbed 

 dung, from which they are easily removed with balls, to fill 

 up any blanks which may occur in the borders or parterre. 

 Sow perennials, if neglected last month, to be planted out 

 in spring. Lay and pipe carnations and pinks in the end 

 of the month. Pay particular attention to the staking and 

 tying up of every plant that requires it, especially young
