CHAP. IV. CALENDAR. 103 



Prune Fig-trees, Peaches, and Grape-vines. 

 Towards the close of the month cover again the roots of 

 fruit-trees that had been exposed with fresh, well-enriched soil. 



ORNAMENTAL PLANTS. 



Put down cuttings of Aloysia citriodora, Heliotrope, Gera- 

 nium, Pinks, Carnations, Habrothamnus, and Verbenas. 



Allow to dry down Arum pictum, Gesnera tubiflora, Sprekelia, 

 the varieties of Caladium, and such like potted bulbous plants. 



In the North- West Provinces cover over at night, to protect 

 from frost, young Heliotropes, Tropoeolums, Canary Creeper, 

 and seedling Menhdee plants. 



Keep under the shelter of a warm verandah Ixora Javanica, 

 Hoyas, and Vanilla plants that are in pots. 



Make succession sowings of such quick-growing things as 

 Browallia, Linaria, Cuphea, Mignonette, French Marigold, and 

 Convolvulus Major. 



German Asters, Cinerarias, and Pansies will require re- 

 potting in a richer soil.
