A CALENDAR 



Flower Garden. — ^Do not forget to keep a watch on the Rose 

 beds, but also give some attention to-day to the Tulips, doing what 

 is desirable in the way of shade and protection to prolong their 

 bloom. 



JUNE 22 



Greenhouse and Frames. — Examine the seedlings which have 

 been raised for winter blooming in the greenhouse — such as Cine- 

 rarias, etc., etc. — and pot up all those which are ready, keeping them 

 in a cool frame, well shaded. 



VegetaUe and Fruit Garden. — Make a final sowing of French 

 Beans for succession, if required. 



Flower Garden. — ^Let to-day's time to the Roses be devoted to 

 the training and tying of the new shoots of the climbers. As to 

 the Tulips, look over the beds carefully and note the habit and 

 character of the individual plants with the view of insuring still 

 more effective planting next season. 



JUNE 23 



Greenhouse and Frames. — ^Make a final shift of Chrysanthemums 

 into suitable pots and water them copiously — twice a day in hot 

 weather is not too much. 



Vegetable and Fruit Garden. — It is not too late to make another 

 sowing of Runner Beans. If the weather be dry, water the drills 

 before sowing, and let the seed be previously soaked in water for 

 twelve hours or so. 



Flower Garden. — ^Do not relax attention to the Roses — ^frequent 

 syringing is beneficial and tobacco water is reckoned to be destruc- 

 tive to the green-fly. Lift those Tulips which have ceased to bloom 

 and on which the foliage hcis tmned yellow and put the bulbs to dry 

 in the sim preparatory to storing. 



JUNE 24 



Greenhouse and Frames. — ^This is a good time for propagating 

 the indoor Roses. Take cuttings of those which are best suited for 

 the purpose. 



Vegetable and Fruit Garden. — ^Make a final sowing of Broccoli 

 seed for winter use.
