middle of last month; the remainder may be taken off at 
the end of the month, and planted in old tan in a frame or 
pit prepared for that purpose: in this way they will be 
found to keep much better over the winter, and to be better 
supplied with roots than if they had been potted, which 
ought never to be done after this season. LExpel damp, 
and assist the ripening of late crops of grapes and peaches 
with fires during the day. Prune early grape-vines and 
peaches. 
Green-house, Conservatory, §-c.—All repairs of paint- 
ing or glazing ought to be finished by the first week, as 
many plauts will require to be taken into the houses by the 
20th of the month; in ordinary seasons comparatively few 
green-house plants can be trusted in the open air after this 
period. Pelargoniums and half-hardy green-house plants 
may be kept in frames or in sheltered situations until the 
end of October. Pot hyacinths, polyanthus narcissus, and 
tulips for forcing. The same attention must be given to 
the propagation of half-hardy green-house plants (see Feb- - 
ruary), as directed for last month. Remove stage auriculas 
to the winter frames about the middle of the month; also 
tender alpine plants, keeping the glass-frame shut in wet 
weather. Early in this month replace in the stove al] 
succulents that may have been kept in the green-house or 
in the open air during the summer months. 
Flower Garden, §c.--Sow in the beginning of this 
month all half-hardy annuals stated for last month, if not 
done at that time. Sow also the different species of 
primula, and the seeds of «ll such plants, for, if sown in 
spring, they seldom come up the same season, but if sown 
in September or October, they vegetate readily in the suc- 
ceeding spring. Continue the propagation of herbaceous 
plants, taking off the layers of carnations, pinks, and pan:
