360 Horticultural Memoranda. 



Strawberry beds may be made this month with the best success. Manure 

 the ground well, and bed it deep. Old beds should be looked after; con- 

 tinue to cut off the runners if plants are not wanted, and this will make 

 them much stronger. 



Budding peach trees should be performed this month. Loosening the 

 ties of trees budded in August should be carefully attended to. 



Raspberry plantations may be made the latter part of the month with 

 perfect success ; if the leaves are yet green, cut them off. 



Grafting trees with jioioering branches to produce fruit next year, may 

 yet be performed in the mode recommended in our last volume — (X). 



Fruit trees of all kinds may now be transplanted with entire success, if 

 the leaves are cut off with a knife or pair of scissors. 



FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 



Dahlias, owing to the dry and hot summer, have not succeeded well : 

 they should, however, not be neglected. Continue to prune and tie up, and 

 the tubers will be better next year. 



Rose cuttings may yet be put in, and budding may yet be performed. 

 Plants wanted for flowering early should now be potted and placed in a 

 frame. 



Oxalises of the various kinds may now be potted. 



Ixias and similar Cape bulbs should be re-potted this month, and placed 

 in a cold frame. 



PcBonies may now betaken up, separated, and planted again. 



Pelargoniums raised from cuttings should now be potted. 



Camellias should yet be repotted if not done last month. Cuttings may 

 now be put in for raising stocks. 



Japan lilies, as they begin to change the color of their leaves, should be 

 more sparingly watered. 



Chrysanthemums raised from layers, should now be shifted into larger 

 pots. Water with guano. 



Carnation layers should soon be potted, and placed in frames during the 

 winter. 



Victoria and other stocks, sown last month, should soon be potted off 

 singly, into small pots. 



Ericas should be constantly pruned, in order to make dwarf stocky 

 plants. 



Phloxes, and other rare herbaceous plants, may now be increased by cut- 

 tings placed in a frame, or under a north wall or fence. 



Petunias and Verbenas should be propagated from cuttings now to make 

 fine plants in the Spring. 



Herbaceous plants may be safely transplanted during the latter part of 

 September. 



Chinese Primroses will require another potting. 



Gloxinias and Gesneras should now be sparingly watered. 



Greenhouse plants should now be looked over, and all that require it, re- 

 potted, pruned, and prepared for removing to their winter quarters next 

 month.
