as. 



seedlings, and layer from yjinks and carnations — plant 

 everlasting sunflowers, French honeysuckles, holy- 

 hock, (k,c. Fibrous rooted flowers that are several 

 jears' old may have their roots parted and planied, 

 sntjail parts of roots into nursery beds, and larger 

 parts where they are to stand. 



BULBOUS FLOWERS. 



Plant bulbous and tuberous roots of all kinds that 

 were taken up in former months, when their leavea 

 (ilecaj^ed — plant in good ground, well dug and broken, 

 the fine kinds of roots, in situations that can be 

 readily sheltered. Bulbous rooted flowers may be'' 

 planted in rows, beds, patches, or to assume thie 

 ^rm of diamonds, ovals, &c. as fancy dictates. 



KmB ROOTED FLOWERS. 



Flowers of this description that have stood some 

 years, may be taken i-^, parted and planted, the 

 small partings in nursery beds, the larger where 

 they are to stand. 



ROSES, HOJVEYSUCKLES AND EVERGREENS. 



With a sharp knife prune off luxuriant and ramb- 

 ling shoots of this year's growth, so that they shall 

 not interfere with each other — cut ofl' those that 

 have sprung too low on the stem, and shorten shoots 

 that are too long — suckers, rising from the roots 

 must also be pruned ofl*. After pruning, dig the 

 ground between th^ plants. Plant Portugal, laurels, 

 laurislinuses, arbutus, phiil3'^reas, magnolias, hollies, 

 bays, cistuces, &c. &c. five to ten feet apart accor- 

 ding to the size the respective shrubs naturally 

 attain. Propagate roses and shrubs in general, 

 by layers; bend down the young shoots and bury 

 them five or six inches out — secure them from 

 rising, by hooked wooden pegs driven in the ground — 

 thoae laid last fall may now be taken up and planteti.
