440 Horticultural Memoranda. 



Strawberry beds should be lightly coTered with old rotten manure or half 

 decayed leaves.

Pear, Plum and Cherry seeds may be sown this month.

FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 



Camellias will now be swelling their buds, and will soon open : let all 

 the plants be well cleaned, by washing the leaves with a sponge, tying up 

 the branches to neat stakes, and top dressing every plant. Finish sowing 

 seeds this month, if not done before. Cuttings may yet be put in. 



Roses, just taken from the border, should be placed in frames for two or 

 three weeks, until they begin to root. Cuttings may yet be put in. Half 

 hardy kinds by protection will endure our winters. It is the safest to 

 protect them by laying down the shoots and covering with a few inches of 

 coarse litter or stable manure. Hardy kinds may yet be safely transplanted. 



Tulips, Hyacinths, Crocusses, djjC. should all be planted in November. 



Chrysanthemums will now be in bloom and should be freely watered. 



Victoria stocks should have another shift this month. 



Chinese Azaleas should be sparingly watered this month. 



Japan Lilies should be placed away in the pots on a dry shelf. Sow the 

 seeds now. 



Heliotropes raised from cuttings should now be potted off. 



Sparaccis and Ixias, should now be removed from the frames to the green- 

 house. 



Pelargoniums growing freely may now be shifted into larger sized pots. 



Calceolarias raised from seeds should now be potted off. 



Gladiolus gandavensis and other kinds should now be taken up and placed 

 out of the reach of frost. 



Fuschias will now require but little water. 



Heaths may now be propagated from cuttings. 



Gloxinias, Gesnerias and Achimenes should be put away on a dry shelf. 



Dahlias should be carefully put away out of the danger of frost. 



Carnations, and other half hardy plants should be protected in frames. 



Hardy herbaceous plants often flower much better if a slight covering of 

 leaves or coarse litter is thrown over the roots. 



Greenhouse plants of all sorts should be properly arranged, the pots wash- 

 ed and the branches neatly tied up to small stakes. 



Cyclamens should be freely watered, as they show their flowers. 



Rocket Larkspur, may now be sown in beds, and the plants will flower 

 much finer in the spring. 



Annual Seeds, such as candy tuft, coreopsis, and the various [ Californian 

 kinds, may be sown now.
