can be protected from frost. It will make more room for 

 the Cinerarias, Pelargoniums, and other such plants. 



Azaleas. — Such as have done blooming to be repotted, 

 and their fresh growth to be gently promoted in a higher 

 temperature for a short time. 



Camellias. — Continue to keep a moist atmosphere 

 about the plants making wood, with a temperature of 

 about 65° by day and 55° by night. Air to be given at 

 all opportunities, to produce sturdy, short-jointed wood. 

 The plants in flower to be shaded during bright sun- 

 shine. 



Cinerarias. — Eegular attention to be given to them, 

 that they may not suffer by want of water. 



Climbers.— Regulate them as they grow, more par- 

 ticularly those in pots which are intended to cover a 

 wire trellis. Kennedy as, Thunbergias, Nierembergias, 

 Tropseolums, and other such plants of a slender and tender 

 habit, delight in a soil the greater proportion being com- 

 posed of leaf mould. 



Chrysanthemums. — Strike cuttings, and pot off rooted 

 suckers. 



Heaths. — Any requiring repotting, should receive that 

 attention without delay, apportioning the size cf the 

 pot to the vigour of their growth; as the free-growing 

 kinds will require more room than the less vigorous 

 ones. 



I^ew Holland Plants. — As many of them are now 

 either in flower, or approaching that state, they will, con- 

 sequently, require a larger quantity of water, — more 

 especially large specimens not shifted since last season. 

 Continue to pinch off the tops of the leading shoots, to 

 produce bushy plants. 



Pelargoniums. — Attention to be given in tying up, 

 watering, and fumigating, if the green fly appears. 



STOVE AND ORCHID-HOUSE. 



As the soft-wooded stove plants will now be making 

 rapid growth, the free admission of light is necessary to 

 prevent them from drawing ; using shade only during 

 scorching sunshine. When a plant is shifted, give less 

 water to the roots ; as the fresh soil, after the first water-
