JAN.] BLOWERS. 463 



Care of choice Plants in Pots. 

 The campanulas, rockets, stocks, wall-flowers, &c. 

 in pots, placed as directed in September, in a situa- 

 tion where they may be defended from bad weather, 

 should also be carefully attended to at this season. A 

 few of any, or of each of them, may be placed in a 

 stove or forcing-house, in order to bring them for- 

 ward for flowering in the green-house, or the draw- 

 ing-room ; and may be treated as above noticed of 

 carnations. 



Care of choice Bulbs. 



The beds of choice hyacinths, if not cohered as 

 directed in November (which see), should now be 

 covered, in order to preserve them from severe frosts. 

 If the weather be very changeable and wet, they 

 should be defended from its bad effects by hoops and 

 matSj or canvas covers, as directed in March ; 

 which covers, however, should always be removed 

 in dry weather, and should only be applied in the 

 time of heavy rains. Snow will do less harm ; and 

 if covered as directed in November, the roots will 

 be safe from the effects of frost. 



Of blowing Bulbous Flower sin Water -, or in Earth. 

 Of this, see the article Green-house, for October 

 and November, where the subject is fully treated of, 

 and the kinds of roots are specified. If roots, how- 

 ever, have not been planted, or put in water, as then 

 directed, they may now very properly be planted,
