Evergreens may yet be planted, notwithstanding 

 the directions given previously. 



Fuchsias, to make specimens, should be frequently 

 potted, and as constantly stopped back. Do 

 not grow them in strong heat, the cooler the 

 house the better; their growth in the open 

 ground is seldom seen to any great advantage. 



Green-fly, exterminate by tobacco smoke; they 

 will be infesting everything at this season, 

 unless timely and constantly checked. 



Greenhouse. — Avoid cold winds ; fires at this 

 time need caution ; a temperature between 

 40° and 45° is the most desirable. Have all 

 potting apparatus under command, as the 

 general season for the operation may be said 

 to have arrived. 



Herbaceous borders will need attention ; subjects 

 will be driving through the soil. 



Hollyhocks may be shifted into larger pots and 

 receive more water. 



Laions will need mowing, sweeping, &c. 



Liliums. — When they begin to force themselves 

 through the soil, take the whole up ; care- 

 fully re-pot at least one inch below the 

 surface — one bulb into the smaller sized pot, 

 or two or three into the larger, using at least 

 one inch of crocks and pieces of charcoal as 

 drainage. Until established, guard against 

 frost, but with as much air as possible. Water 

 once or twice with clear lime water, to 

 destroy worms. 



Make alterations where determined. 



Open pits, frames, &c, on every fitting oppor- 

 tunity ; avoid currents of easterly winds to 

 subjects in general. 



Pansies may now be all re-potted into their 

 blooming-pots ; the strong growing sorts into 

 8-inch, the more delicate growers into 6-inch 

 pots ; remove bloom buds. Those in the 

 open ground may be top-dressed, if the 

 weather prove open. 



Paths should be frequently rolled and freed from 

 weeds, moss, &c. 



Pelargoniums. — All plants that are intended to 

 flow r er in July, will require stopping back the 

 second week in this month. Keep the house 

 rather close for a few days ; this will help 

 them to push forth their eyes. When their 

 eyes are prominent, give air at all oppor- 

 tunities, by opening early in the morning and 

 shutting up early in the afternoon — say three 

 or four o'clock, according to circumstances, 

 carefully avoiding all easterly winds. Draw 

 the syringe over the plants once or twice a 

 week after shutting up, with plenty of sun- 

 light and warmth. The May plants will be 

 fast showing their trusses. In watering, give 

 sufficient to moisten the whole ball ; manure- 

 water, as directed last month. — Dobson. 



Petunias. — Propagate by cuttings ; they make 

 but a poor return at best. 



Phloxes should be parted and planted out. 



Picotees. — A thorough cleaning and surface 

 stirring should now be prosecuted, in addition 

 to the directions for Carnations. 



Pinks top-dress ; plant out any wintered in pots 

 to fill up losses. We have no faith in spring 

 planting as a rule. 



Pits, plants in, will require air when favorable, 

 and more water. 



Plants in greenhouse may be top-dressed, and have 

 a general cleaning. 



Polyanthuses. — Stir the surface of beds ; top-dress 

 in pots ; look to early flowering seedlings. 



Primulas, — Early, will be declining. 



Ranunculuses in beds need protection against 

 severe weather ; remove it, however, at all 

 mild and congenial times. 



Poses may be pruned at this time. 



Seedlings in pans may be potted off. 



Sow seeds of Annuals, hardy and half hardy ; the 

 latter in pits, boxes, pans, &c. 



Sweeping paths, lawns, &c, should not be 

 neglected. 



Top-dressings to pots, beds, &c, should be per- 

 severed with. 



Tulips. — Gentle, mild showers, will be beneficial 

 as the growth proceeds, but see that no water 

 is long retained inside the foliage ; keep the 

 surface free from caking by a cautious stirring 

 on a dry day ; frosts are more injurious than 

 ever. 



Verbenas. — Pot off cuttings as struck into thumb 

 pots, using light rich compost. Continue to 

 take cuttings. Plants that have been kept 

 in small pots all the winter, may now be 

 potted into 60's, and placed in a slight dung 

 heat until established, and then harden them 

 off gradually. 



Violets keep clean. Towards the end of the month 

 the runners may be planted out in frames for 

 next season's supply. 



Watering will be an increasing duty ; where sub- 

 jects are strong, and within doors, let it be 

 done effectually. 



PHRENOLOGY FOR THE MILLION. 



No. XL. PHYSIOLOGY OF THE BRAIN. 



BY F. J. GALL, M.D. 



{Continued from page 43.) 



Children possess to a wonderful degree 

 the art of manifesting externally what passes 

 within them ; their movements and their cries are 

 very different, when they are irritated by unjust 

 treatment, and when the same accident happens 

 without any intention of offending them ; they cry 

 very differently to express pain, and to manifest 

 weariness, anger, the desire to be changed, or to 

 have the breast, &c. 



And, if it be maintained, that at the age of 

 some years, children have no passions, affections, 

 or decided propensities, this is confounding the 

 objects, on which the propensities act at different 

 ages, with these propensities themselves. Chil- 

 dren are not ambitious for places of honor ; they 

 have no idea of robbing their fellow-pupils of their 

 property by fraud ; they are not goaded by the 

 desire of achieving conquests ; but they cheat each 

 other for birds' nests ; fight for playthings ; are 

 proud of occupying the first places at school ; and 

 the vexation at losing a kite which has got free, 

 afflicts a boy more severely, than the loss of a fine 

 horse would do at a later age. Who does not ob- 

 serve daily, in children, envy, jealousy, the most 

 furious anger, compassion, the love of gaming, 

 avidity, ambition ; and even pride, cruelty, extreme 

 sensibility, &c? We shall say, then, with much
