200 Horticultural Memoranda. 



Raspberry Plantations should be well manured and dug, if not done before. 

 Prune the canes to about four feet. 



Currant and Gooseberry Bushes should be well pruned, and the ground 

 manured and dug. 



FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 



Herbaceous plants may be now removed with success. Old plants should 

 be reset, or a portion of the roots taken away, always cutting out the centre. 

 Dahlias may yet be propagated. The old roots may be divided now, be- 

 ing careful to reserve a good eye to each tuber ; and they may be forward- 

 ed in a cold frame, as it would not be safe to set them out till June, except 

 rare kinds, which will greatly aid the growth of the plants. 



Fuchsias will need another shift. If good specimens are wanted, the 

 main shoot should be tied up erect. Water occasionally with guano. 



Roses will now be finishing their bloom, and should be removed to the 

 border the latter part of the month, where, after once rooted, they will bloom 

 till winter. Cuttings may be put in. Hardy roses should be pruned, if not 

 already done. 



Chrysanthemums may yet be propagated from cuttings or suckers. 



Camellias may be removed from the greenhouse to the open air, the latter 

 part of the month. Attend to inarched plants, and keep them properly 

 watered. 



Tulip Beds will require to be looked after. Carefully weed them, and 

 loosen the surface of the soil with a trowell. 



Hardy Annual Flower Seeds, such as Coreopsis, Nemophila, Clarkia, &c., 

 should be sown this month. 



Tuberoses and Tiger Floioers should be set out this month. 



Erythrina Crista Galli may be safely removed to the open ground the 

 last part of the month. 



Annuals brought forward in hot beds or frames should be planted out in 

 beds or in the border this month. 



Azaleas may be shifted at this season if they require it. 



Greenhouse Plants of many kinds may be removed to the open air, 

 especially where they are too crowded. 



Achimenes, of the several kinds, will need shifting again. 



Verbenas may now be turned out into the border. 



Ranunculus Beds should be attended to : keep them clear of weeds. 



Pelargoniums may be propagated from cuttings 



Ixias, Sparaxis, and other bulbs, done flowering, should be sparingly 

 watered. 



Victoria Stock Seeds should be sown now, if strong plants are wanted next 

 Christmas. 



Orange and Lemon Trees may be grafted now. 



Cactuses now about blooming, should be liberally watered ; giving guano 

 occasionally.
