of fine fruit-trees bj budding on other trees, or on pre- 

 pared stocks. 



Forcing. — Attend to the pruning of melons and cu- 

 cumbers, giving air and water, renewing linings, &c. 

 Go on with the usual cultivation of the pinery, but 

 withhold water from the plants when the fruit begins 

 to ripen. Have the old plants with suckers on them 

 put into a brisk bottom-heat, giving proper supplies of 

 water; this will increase their size very much, and 

 materially shorten the period of their coming into fruit. 

 The forcing-houses ought to have the same treatment 

 as stated for last month. 



In the Gf-reen-Jiouse, little alteration will take place 

 in the culture and management from that given for 

 last month; necessary attention being 'paid to potting, 

 shifting, and putting in cuttings, and giving abundance 

 of water to the potted plants, both in the house and 

 Out of doors. 



Flotver- Garden and STiruhhery. — Take up the re- 

 mainder of tuberous roots, such as anemone and ra- 

 nunculus; finishing by the end of the first week; fill 

 up their places, and any vacancies that' may have oc- 

 curred, with annuals from the reserve ground. Pro- 

 pagate all the finer herbaceous plants that have gone 

 out of flower, >by means of cuttings and slips; also se- 

 lect roses and American shrubs, by layering, budding, 

 or cuttings. Go on with the laying, piping, and strik- 

 ing of carnations, pinks, pansies, and the different va- 

 rieties of superennial plants, as Sweet-William, pink, 

 catchfly, double rocket, and douhle wallflower, in hand- 

 glasses, or in shaded situations. Attend to the staking 

 and tying up of dahlias and strong herbaceous plants.
