306 PEACTICAL FLORICULTURE. 



22d. Still propagating Chrysanthemums largely. 60 

 62. 



23d. First lot of cuttings taken from the Roses planted 

 on benches on the 1st. 60 72. 



24:th. Planted out what remained of stock plants. 58 

 64. 



25th. Carnations have been much injured by contin- 

 ued rains; we observe that they are more susceptible of 

 injury from wet than almost any other plant grown, con- 

 sequently all soils on which they are planted should be 

 well drained, either naturally or artificially. 60 68. 



26th. Shifted Chrysanthemums, Roses, Bouvardias, 

 Carnations, Solanums, Geraniums, Primulas, Cyclamens 

 and such plants as are being grown for fall flowers or for 

 the sale of plants; all are placed in beds outside and ex- 

 posed to full sunshine except Primulas, Cyclamens, Cin- 

 erarias and similar plants, that we find are benefitted by 

 being shaded with the protecting cloth " sashes" (see 

 chapter on Cloth Frames) or shutters made by tacking 

 lath on light frames, at an inch and a half apart. These 

 are placed over the plants in bright, hot days, from ten 

 to four o'clock. 60 66. 



21th. Repotted different kinds of plants that are kept 

 in pots for winter, such as Chrysanthemums, Eupatori- 

 ums, Roses, Poinsettias, Heliotropes, etc. 64 76. 



2$th. Potted off last lot of Pelargonium cuttings, for 

 the season. 66 74. 



30^. Sowed seeds of Hollyhocks, Carnations, etc. 



JULY. 



1st. Repotted Roses for winter flowering. Planted out 

 Roses from five inch pots on benches for winter. See 

 chapter on Rose Growing in Winter. 68 70. 



2d. Potted off Dahlia cuttings, the last for the season; 

 later than this, the roots would hardly ripen sufficiently.
