to insects, and prevent their generating amongst the 

 plants. Begin the first week of this month, and place 

 all the tall shrubby plants, such as Orange and Lemon 

 trees, on the back shelves ; others should be placed so 

 as they can be cultivated to advantage, and they 

 shouldall be arranged in regular gradation, so as to 

 have the low-growing, or dwarf plants, on the front 

 shelves. If any Chrysanthemums were planted in the 

 garden with a view to their being potted, they should 

 now be taken up carefully, and prepared for blooming, 

 82. Stockgillies and Wall flowers should also be taken 

 up, potted, and kept in a shady situation, until they 

 have taken root. Such Dahlia plants as may have 

 been cultivated in pots should be sheltered from the 

 chilling air, and those in the ground will need atten- 

 tion. Prepare the ground for all the hardy kinds of 

 Bulbous flower roots, 41. Towards the end of the 

 month, plant Anemones, Ranunculuses, and Cro- 

 cuses, 47; Crown Imperials, 48; Gladioluses, 57; 

 Hyacinths, 58; Irises, 59; Ixias and Jonquils, 60; 

 Lilies, 61; Narcissus, 63 ; Ornithogalums, 64; Peo- 

 nies, 65 ; Tulips, 70 and 71. For the management of 

 Bulbous roots in pots and glasses, see pages 74 and 75. 

 Prune flowering shrubs, and make new plantations of 

 them, 39.

 house plants should have air at all opportunities, and 

 water in proportion, as heat and air is attainable, 80. 

 Bulbous roots in pots and glasses will also need atten- 

 tion, 73 to 75. Half hardy plants, such as Stock Gil- 

 lies, Wall Flowers, Carnations, Primulas, Hydran- 

 geas, Daisies, &c, must either be placed in frames, or 

 in a Greenhouse, early in this month. If Dahlia,
