440 THE MAGAZINE OF HORTICULTURE. 



Heaths, planted out in the ground, should be taken up and potted, 

 shading them in a frame till well rooted. 



Azaleas will require attention. Water more sparingly as the nights 

 become cooler ; and remove the plants to a more sunny aspect, in order to 

 ripen the wood, on which an abundant bloom depends. 



Chrysanthemums should be repotted for the last time. Water occa- 

 sionally with manure water, or guano. 



Pelargoniums, headed down last month, should be repotted. Young 

 cuttings, struck last month, should be potted. Keep all in frames, where 

 they can be protected from heavy rains. 



Neapolitan Violets should be potted this month. 



Monthly Carnations, in the open ground, should be taken up and 

 potted this month. 



OxALisES, of all kinds, may be potted this month. 



Chinese Primroses, growing freely, may be repotted. Pot off young 

 seedlings, and keep all in cold frames. 



Roses, in pots, should be frequently stopped, in order to get well-ripened 

 wood. 



Cyclamfns should be repotted. 



Heliotropes, and other very tender plants, should be removed to frames 

 as soon as possible, as their foliage gets discolored by the cool nights. 



Euphorbias, &c., should be removed to the house forthwith. 



Callas should be repotted this month. 



Verbenas, Petunias, Salvias, &c., should be propagated for a spring 

 stock. 



Mignonette and Sweet Alyssum, in pots, should be placed in a frame, 

 or old hotbed. 



Verbenas, for winter blooming, should be potted for the last time this 

 month. 



Greenhouse Plants, of all kinds, should be tied up neatly, and put in 

 order before removing to the house. 



FLOWER GARDEN AND SHRUBBERY. 



Let not the waning season cause any neglect in this department, but rather 

 give it more care than ever, that everything may be as fresh as summer. 

 Mow the lawn fortnightly, roll and rake the walks, clean the borders, and 

 remove all unsightly plants whose flowering season is past. 



Dahlias, now coming into bloom, should be tied up to the stakes, as a 

 sudden wind might greatly injure them. 



White Lilies may be planted or reset this month. 



Hollyhocks may be propagated by cuttings. Seedlings raised early 

 may be planted out in the beds or borders, where they are intended to bloom. 



Pansies, sown in August, may be planted out in beds now. Divide, and 

 reset choice varieties. 



Carnations and Picotees should be planted out in beds, where they 

 can be slightly protected during the winter. 



Herbaceous Plants, of every kind, may be planted this month. 



Beds for Tulips, and other bulbs, may be prepared now by trenching and 

 manuring, that they may have time to settle before planting.
