FLOWER GARDEN AND SHRUBBERY.

 prevail in every part ; not a weed should be seen, every plant should be in 

 the finest condition, and the walks kept clean, smooth, and hard. Annuals 

 will yet require to be set out, and early flowering bulbs taken up, and re- 

 placed with bedding plants. Lawns should be mown once a fortnight, and 

 grass edgings kept short and neat. Hedges and Box Edging should be 

 dipt now.

 if fine flowers are wanted.

Hollyhocks, Peonies, Phloxes, and similar tall growing plants should 

 be tied up to neat stakes. Carnations and pinks should be also tied up as

 looked after. Syringe freely with whale oil soap, if the thrips or slug 

 attack them. Do this in season, before they have injured the foliage.
