120 Horticultural Memoranda. 



Scions may yet be cut, but all that are needed should not, if possible, be 

 allowed to go over March. 



Raspberry and Strawberry Beds should be uncovered as soon as the weather 

 becomes mild, without frost. 



Trees intended to be removed should be taken up as soon as the frost is 

 out of the ground, and laid in, till such time as can be obtained to set 

 them out. 



Salt is best applied around plum trees in March, at least one dressing 

 should be given now, and perhaps another light one in May. 



Pear, Apple and Quince Seeds should be sown as soon as the frost is out 

 of the ground. 



FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 



Dahlias will now occupy attention ; if early flowers are wanted, a few 

 roots should now be placed in the green-house, or in the hot-bed, to push 

 them on. If seedlings are wanted, March is the best time to sow them, to 

 bloom well this year. 



Camellias will soon begin to make their new wood ; when the flowers are 

 all open, the plants should be liberally syringed, and well supplied with 

 water at the roots, not omitting to use some liquid guano. Inarching 

 should now be performed. Young seedlings should be carefully watered. 



Japan Lilies will now be advancing rapidly ; such as require it should be 

 re-potted ; water now more freely, and keep in a cool part of the house. 



Gloxinias and Achimines of all sorts should now be started in a hot-bed or 

 other warm place. 



Gesnera zebrina should now be potted or placed in a hot-bed. 



Pelargoniums, for show specimens should be again shifted into larger 

 pots. 



Azaleas will now be coming into flower, and should be freely watered. 



Roses will now be in full bloom ; continue to water liberally, and make 

 free use of the syringe : fumigate as often as the green fly appears. Plants 

 of choice kinds, in too small pots, had better be shifted into a larger size. 

 Grafting may he performed this month, or as soon as the frost is out of the 

 ground. 



Cinerarias should now be shifted into large size pots. 



Hyacinth and Tulip Beds will require looking after towards the close of 

 the month ; if the weather is mild, part of the covering should be removed. 



Plants in frames. Do not forget to give them a fine airing as soon as the 

 weather is milder. 



Migno7i,ette, 10 week stocks, Globe amaranthus, Brachycome, Thunbergias, 

 and many other choice annuals, should be sown in pots in hot-beds, to ad- 

 vance them so as to bloom early. 



Fuchsias will be particular objects of care ; re-pot them as fast as they 

 require it, and keep them well exposed to light and air, to prevent them 

 from drawing up weak. 



Verbenas and Heliotropes should now be propagated for procuring a stock 

 for turning out into the border in summer. 



Tuberoses and Amaryllises may be potted this month for early flowering.
