MONTHLY CALENDAR. 157 



Stock Gillies and Wall Fowers sliould be taken up, potted, 

 and kept in a shady situation until they have taken root. 



Such Dahlia plants as have been cultivated in pots should 

 be sheltered from the chilling air, and those in the ground 

 ■will need attention, 65 and 66. 



Prepare the ground for all the hardy kinds of bulbous 

 flower roots, 64 and 65. Toward the end of the month plant 

 Anemones and Ranunculuses, 68 ; Crocuses, 69 ; Crown 

 Imperials, 69 ; Gladioluses, 80 ; Hyacinths, 81 ; Irises, 82 ; 

 Ixias, 82 ; Jonquils, 83 ; Lilies, 84 ; Narcissus, 85 ; Omitho- 

 galums, 86 ; Paeonies, 87 ; Tulips, 92. For the management 

 of bulbous roots in pots and glasses, see pages 94 to 96. 

 Prune flowering shrubs, and make new plantations of them, 

 53. 



Chrysanthemums should be neatly tied up to small sticks, 

 and watered occasionally with liquid manure, to promote 

 their blossoming in full perfection. Those in pots intended 

 to be protected for late flowering, should be watched and 

 taken in, on the appearance of a frosty night ; they may, 

 however, be exposed to the air as much as possible when it is 

 soft and salubrious, as should all other half-hardy plants, 101 

 and 102. 



NOVEMBER. 



As the sweet flowers — men flourish and decay ; 

 Howe'er they shine they quickly pass away ; 

 If Virtue bless'd them in their mortal lot, 

 Each has an epitaph, " Forget me not-'' 



During the continuance of mild weather, green-house 

 plants should have air at all opportunities, and water in pro- 

 portion as heat and air are attainable, 99 and 100. Bulbous 

 roots in pots and glasses will also need attention, 94 to 96. 



Half-hardy plants, such as Stock Gillies, Wall Flowers, 

 Carnations, Primulas, Hydrangeas, Daisies, &c., must either 

 be placed in frames or in a green-house early in this month.
