AURICULAS, CARjYATIOJVS, HYACLYTHS, AND 

 TULIPS. 



The beds in which pots containing these flowers are 

 plunged, should be dry, and in a warm situation, having 

 a shelter of hoops and mats over them; the mats may 

 be taken off in mild weather when the sun shines. 



CROCUSES, RANUNCULUSES, ANEMONES, AND 

 OTHER BULBS, 



These flowers may be planted this month (if the 

 weather is mild) in beds and borders of dry light 

 earth, well dug and broke. Plant them from six to 

 twelve inches asunder, according to the size of the 

 root, and about five inches deep. 



They may also be planted in pots of light sandy 

 earth, to blow in the house ; the roots in pots must be 

 covered with earth, and no more ; place the pots in a 

 sunny window ; when the roots begin to shoot, water 

 them lightly occasionally, and they will flower early. 



Note. — Those in the open air must be well coverec} 

 with htter to protect them from frost. 



WALL-FLOWERS, SWEET-WILLIAMS, ROSE- 

 CAMPIONS, ^c. 



Pots having roots of these flowers in them, must 

 have the same care and attention as auriculas, carna- 

 tions, ^c. 



FLOWERING SHRUBS AND EVERGREENS. 



Cover the earth round their stems, as far as the 

 roots extend, with litter to protect them from frost ; 

 support with stakes those that require support, tying 

 the shrubs to the stakes with hay bands or strips of 

 woollen rags. Prune off* dead branches, superfluous 

 shoots and suckers.
