DIAEY OF OPEBATIOKS FOB THE YEAfc. 309 



ting them at all is, that their removal to the benches 

 can be done without injury to the roots, which could noi 

 be effected unless they were first potted. If we haci 

 planted them at once on the bench we do not think we 

 could keep them back so well, as by placing them in a 

 partially shaded place in the open air. Cut over for the 

 last time this season those Carnations that are wanted to 

 produce flowers in December and January. 70 76. 



6th. Shifted winter-So.. ering plants of all kinds. 

 Began to withhold water from Hybrid Roses grown in 

 pots, so that they can be started in October, to flower in 

 January. See Rose Growing in Winter. 70 78. 



7^. Removed Hybrid Tea Roses, such as Bennett, 

 La France and American Beauty, that have been grown 

 in eight-inch pots, outside in open air, to the shelter of 

 the greenhouse. 70 76. 



8^. Continued to put in large lots of Rose cuttings, 

 from stock plants grown in benches. 72 74. 



10^. Potted off cuttings, and shifted into larger pots, 

 Chrysanthemum laciniatum (the winter-flowering vari- 

 ety). 72 76. 



llth. Continued to pinch back late kinds of Chrysan- 

 themums. 74 78. 



12th. The same. 60 64. 



13th. Put in green cuttings of Bouvardia, Cissus, etc. 

 54_60. 



14^. Shifted for the last time this season Roses thai 

 are to be used for winter flowering. 55 62. 



15th. Put in largely, at this date, cuttings of the 

 leading kinds of Alter nantheras; it is most important to 

 do so now, if a large stock is wanted as, unless under very 

 high temperature, this plant cannot be grown, so that it 

 can be propagated in winter. It is easily propagated in 

 May, but it is then too late. 



llth. Shifted Eupatoriuins, Stevias, Poinsettias, and 

 other winter-flowering plants, for the last time this season.
