ORNAMENTAL PLANTS. 



About the middle of this month is the time for making 

 sowings of all the English Annuals, either in pots or on a 

 raised border under a hoogla. 



Pots containing bulbs of Lilium longifolium should be well 

 soaked with water; and about twelve hours afterwards, the 

 soil being thus rendered perfectly loose, the bulbs should be 

 carefully taken out and repotted. 



This is the best time for imported bulbs to arrive for potting, 

 such as Hyacinths, Anemone, Kanunculus, and the several kinds 

 of Narcissus, Iris, Ixia, &c.
