HORTICULTURAL MEMORANDA 



FOR SEPTEMBER. 



FRUIT DEPARTMENT. 



Grape Vines will now be ripening off their wood, and every attention 

 should be given to mature it as much as possible, as nothing conduces so 

 much to the success of the next year crop. Stop all shoots now, in order 

 to check the flow of sap, and throw it into the dormant buds. 



Strawberry Beds may be made this month with entire success. Keep 

 old beds, as well as those set out in August, clear of weeds. 



Peach Trees may be budded any time during this month. 



Seeds of Fruit Trees may be sown this month. 



FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 



Dahlias should now receive attention. The dry weather of July in- 

 jured them very severely, and but for the timely rains which have lately 

 fallen, no flowers of any consequence would have been obtained this sea- 

 son. As it is, the bloom will be a scanty one compared with last year. 

 Prune out, immediately, all useless shoots, such as have been stopped by 

 insects, &c., and take away all inferior buds ; a fair bloom may then be 

 expected the latter part of September. 



Camellias may yet be repotted, if other work has not allowed an oppor- 

 tunity to attend to it. Cuttings may also be put in now. Seeds should 

 be sown this month. 



Calla Ethiopica, allowed to dry in the pots, should now be fresh potted 

 in good bog earth and loam. 



Amaryllis Belladonna should be repotted immediately. 



Cyclamens, placed out in the open ground in July, should be taken up 

 into pots the latter part of the month. 



Pelargoniums should be repotted now, and cuttings put in in July 

 should be potted oiT this month. 



Cuttings of Roses put in in July should be potted oflf, and placed in a 

 frame. Old plants wanted for early flowering should be potted this 

 month. 



Heliotropes should be repotted this month. 



Chinese Primroses, in seedling pans, should now be potted off". 



Stocks and other Annuals should be potted off" this month. 



Chrysanthemums should be repotted this month for the last time previ- 

 ous to blooming. 



Sparaxis, Ixias, and similar bulbs, may be potted this month, and 

 placed in a frame.
