400 Horticultural Memoranda. 



Strawberry beds should be attended to. At the South, beds may yet be 

 made, but in this neighborhood, it had now better be deferred till April. 

 Old beds should be kept clean, and the runners cut off, unless wanted for 

 new beds. 



Currant bushes may be set out with complete success this month. 



Raspberry plantations may be made this month. It is the best season to 

 transplant. 



Fruit trees of all kinds may now be planted, unless the situation is very 

 cold and wet : it would then be best to defer till Spring. If the situation 

 is exposed and windy, stake every tree. 



Peach trees budded last month should now be looked over, and the ban- 

 dages loosened, and re-tied. 



Pear, Apple, Plum, Cherry, and other fruit tree seeds may be planted 

 this month. 



FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 



Dahlias should be taken up immediately after the first white frost. Put 

 them directly into the cellar, or some other place, out of the reach of frost. 



Roses planted out in the border, should now be taken up and potted, 

 and placed in a shady situation, or removed to a frame. Repot young plants 

 struck from cuttings, and continue to put in those of which a stock is want- 

 ed. Hardy Roses may now be successfully transplanted. 



Herbaceous plants may now be safely transplanted. 



Tulips, Hyacinths, Ranunculuses, and other bulbs, may be planted this 

 month. 



Chrysanthemums should be removed to the greenhouse, before severe 

 frosts. 



PcBonics, both tree and herbaceous, may now be safely transplanted. 



Ixias, Sparaxis, and other cape bulbs, should now be potted, and placed 

 in a frame. 



Hydrangeas, and other half hardy plants, should be taken up and winter- 

 ed in a frame or cellar. 



Erythrinas should be taken up before hard frosts. 



Heliotropes may now be increased by cuttings. The old plants may be 

 taken up and potted. 



Verbenas should now be potted, selecting young layers. 



Mignonette should be rather sparingly watered, as there is danger of 

 damp. 



Victoria stocks for a succession may now be sown. 



Cyclamens should be repotted now, and placed in a frame. 



Cinerarias should be shifted before removing them to the house. 



Chinese Primroses will need another shift now. 



Calceolarias should be potted now. Sow seeds for Spring flowering. 



Camellias, as they are removed to the house, should have all the pots 

 well washed, and the earth top-dressed.
