JUNE — FIBST WEEK. 



JUNE. 



EXEST WEEK. 



GREENHOUSE AND CONSERVATORY. 



Azalea Indica. — Encourage free growth, as soon as 



in heat, supplying an abundance of water, and syringing 

 freely. 



Calceolarias. — Water carefully ; cut down when out 

 of bloom, and remove them to a cold frame. 



Heaths and New Holland Plants. — The young 

 stock will now succeed best in a pit, or frame, placing the 

 lights to the north. The glass to be well washed, and the 

 pots to be placed on tiles, or ashes, above the ground level. 



Pelargoniums. — Give air freely, avoid cold draughts, 

 and shade from scorching sun. Shift and stop the suc- 

 cession stock for late flowering. 



Petunias. — Do not neglect to pot off from the store 

 propagating pots some of those, as advised last week, as 

 also Scarlet Geraniums, Verbenas, Heliotropes, &c, to 

 afford a variety of sorts and colours for the conservatory. 



Let rambling shoots of ordinary stove plants have 

 frequent stopping. The Aerides, Dendrobiuins, Phalse- 

 nopses, Saccolabiums, Sarcanthuses, Sobralias, Vandas, 

 and others of the eastern genera of Orchids, will now 

 require most liberal and frequent waterings and syring- 

 ings. Gongoras, Peristerias, Stanhopeas, &c, when full 

 of roots in baskets, require a thorough soaking. Now is 

 a good time to pot Cymbidiums, Peristerias, &c, starting 

 into growth. Aerides, Vandas, and plants of a similar 

 habit, do best when shifted after they have done blooming. 



Achimenes. — Continue to shift them, as also Begonias, 

 Clerodendmas, Gesneras, &c, as requisite. Remove those 

 in bloom to the greenhouse or conservatory.
