 done before. 



Calceolaria seed should now be sown for producing plants to bloom in the 

 autumn. 



Pansies, Phlox Drummondri, Alonsoa, Br achy come. Verbena, &c. may 

 be sown this month, in order to procure strong plants for blooming early 

 in the open garden. 



German Asters, Balsams, Ten Week Slocls, and other annual?, may be 

 sown in boxes, or in a frame, for transplanting out in May. 



Tuberoses may be potted this month, and placed in a hot-bed, or other 

 warm situation, and carefully watered till they begin to grow. 



Erythrma crista galli. The roots will now be swelling their buds, and 

 will need occasional watering. 



Oxahs Boioiei, and other fall flowering species, may be placed on an 

 airy shelf, and will only need watering once a week. 



Ixias and Sparaxis now coming into flower, will need good supplies of 

 water. 



Hyacinths in pots may be brought into the greenhouse for successive 

 blooming. Beds in the open ground should be looked at the latter part of 

 the month, and if the weather is mild, they should be partially uncovered. 



Chrysanthemums , Carnations, and other plants in frames, should have 

 air every mild day. 



Hydrangeas m^y he propagated from cuttings at this season, taking off 

 the terminal bud, with a portion of the branch. If properly managed, 

 each plant will flower this season. 



Ericas may now be propagated from cuttings. 



Azaleas will now begin to bloom : water more abundantly. Seed may 

 now be sown, if not previously done. 



Dwarf Rocket Larkspur seed should be sown as soon as the frost is out 

 of the ground, and the flowers will be much stronger and finer. 



Salvia splendens should be now propagated from cuttings, if plants are 

 wanted for the open garden. 



Orange and Lemon Trees may be grafted at this season. 



Amaryllis formosissima may be potted now for early blooming. 



VEGETABLE DEPARTMENT. 



Hot Beds. In our January memoranda, we recommended the forma- 

 tion of hot-beds ; but as the weather was so severely cold, probably little 

 was done until February, when the weather was more moderate. If the 

 beds were then made, they will soon be in readiness for planting any kinds 

 of seeds. 



Cucumber seeds, if sown last month in pots, may now be hilled out, ma- 

 king one hill under each light. Bring up the earth to within six inches of 

 the glass, and earth over the hill as fast as the roots require it. 



Tomato seeds should be planted in pots, for making early plantations in 

 the open ground. 



Eggplant seeds should be planted this month, as it requires a good sea- 

 son to bring the fruit to full size. 



Lettuce, Radishes, Cress, &c. may be sown this month in any spare 

 part of the bed, and the crop will all be pulled before the vmes will be of 

 sufficient size to crowd them out. 



Cabbage, Cauliflower, Brocoli, and other seeds, may now be sown, in 

 order to forward the crop.
