160 Horticultural Memoranda. 



Gooseberry, Currant and Raspberry bushes may now be transplanted 

 with entire success. 



Pruning may now be performed ; and as much should be completed 

 this montli as possible. 



Strawberry beds may be planted this month with success. We consid- 

 er it the most favorable season. 



Grafting should soon be commenced and continued throughout the 

 month. 



Peach, Pear, Plum, and other kinds of trees, may be transplanted this 

 month. Roots grafted in March should be set out in the open ground 

 this month. 



Pear and Jipplt seed should be sown as soon as the ground can be 

 got ready. 



FLOWER DEPARTMENT. 



Dahlias potted last month will now be throwing up strong shoots, which, 

 if many young plants are wanted, should be taken oif and rooted in a hot 

 bed ; or the roots may be separated and potted. They should be shelter- 

 ed in a frame during the entire month of April. 



Rocket Larkspur seed should be sov.'n as soon as tlie ground is suffi- 

 ciently dry to be dug over. 



Pelargoniums not yet shifted should not be omitted any longer. 



Camellias will now be making vigorous shoots, and will require syring- 

 ing at least twice a week. Give guano liquid to the roots once a week. 

 Continue to inarch if duplicate plants are wanted. Such plants as need 

 repotting, if not already begun to grow, should be shifted immediately. 



Tuberoses, Gladioluses, and similar bulbs may be potted now for early 

 blooming ; turning the bulbs out of pots, into the border in May. 



German Jisters, Pansies, Balsams, Stocks, ^t., should be sown this month 

 in an exhausted hot bed or a cold frame. 



Roses will perhaps need repotting ; but this need not be done unless 

 the roots are quite crowded, as the plants had better be turned out into 

 the ground in May. 



Verbenas should now be repotted, and all straggling shoots cut in. 



Fuchsias will now need shifting ; as this is now so admired a tribe, 

 we hope to see more care taken in its cultivation. 



Cactuses will now require more water. 



Chrysanthemums may be propagated from cuttings the latter part of the 

 month. 



Jlchimines coccinea, longiftora, and the other species, should now be pot- 

 ted and placed in a slight bottom heat. 



Hyacintlis will be in bloom this month, and should be shaded. 



Hardy herbaceous plants of all kinds may be transplanted this month. 



Pftonies may be removed with safety this month. Tree peeonies may 

 also be separated now to increase them. 



Hardy roses, of all kinds, should be removed in April. 



Oxalises, Ixias, &c., now done flowering, should be sparingly watered. 



Carnations in frames should now be attended to, and carefully watered. 



Annual Seeds of all hardy kinds may be sown this month, and the ten- 

 der ones in a hot bed or frame.
