Rose shrubs, Orange, Lemon trees, &c. &c., should be

SEPTEMBER. 



" Light vapours o'er valleys and rivers at night, 

 Foretoken the next day salubrious and bright, 

 Especially when they at morning appear, 

 To rise up the hill sides, and vanish in air." 



Such greenhouse plants as may have been repotted and 

 pruned in the course of the last month, should be looked 

 over, and if they have taken root, they should be exposed 

 gradually to the Sun, and watered moderately in dry 

 weather. 



If any of the greenhouse plants were plunged in the 

 flower beds, they should be taken up and pruned early in 

 this month, and then put into suitable sized pots, 33. 



Half-hardy perennials, such as Carnations, Daisies, 

 Primulas, Lilies, Hydrangeas, &c. should be taken up, 

 divided carefully at the roots, and then put into moderate 

 sized pots, and attended to as before directed for greenhouse 

 plants. 



Many hardy kinds of flower seeds may be sown this 

 month, 23 and 31. This is a good season to propagate 

 all kinds of hardy perennial plants, by parting the roots; 

 and those that were raised from seed in the Spring, may 

 be transplanted into regular flower beds, in cloudy or wet 

 weather, 26 and 33. Plant Crown Imperials, 69 ; Persian 

 Cyclamens, 69; Ixias, 86; Lachenalias, 87; Lilies, 87; 

 Ornithogalums, 89 ; Oxalises, 89. 



Such Chrysanthemums as are intended to be protected 

 while in blossom, should now be taken up and planted in 

 moderate sized pots, 106. 



Seeds of Schizanthus, Ten- week Stock, Mignonette, and 

 such other species as may be desired to decorate the par- 

 lour or greenhouse, should be sown this month. 107.
