OPERATIONS FOR JULY. 
Azaleas continue to propagate from cuttings of the young- wood ; take the 
cuttings off close to the plants, and plant them in sand under a handglass in a shady 
situation. 
Camellias, wanted to flower early, may he brought forward by placing them 
in a warm stove or greenhouse ; those not required for early flowering may remain 
out of doors till the end of September or beginning of October. 
Carnations may be layered, or raised from cuttings taken off at the third 
joint, and planted under a handglass. Seedlings may towards the end of this month 
be transplanted six inches apart, in light rich soil. 
Calceolarias intended to flower late in the autumn should now have the 
branches cut down to within an inch of the soil, and be top dressed. Cuttings may 
still be put in with success. 
Chimonanthus fragrans may be now layered with success ; cuttings of the 
young wood will also grow, if planted in sand under a glass, and the pot be plunged 
in a gentle bottom heat. 
Cyclamens would do better turned out of the pots in which they flowered, and 
planted in an open somewhat sheltered border. 
Dahlias. If young plants are desired, cuttings may still be put in with 
success. 
Greenhouse plants still continue to propagate. 
Mignonette, to stand the winter in pots, should be sown about the middle of 
the month, in light, sandy, fresh soil, quite free from dung. 
Orange stocks, &c., may be budded; cuttings may also be put in with 
success. 
Pinks may yet be propagated by pipings. (See last month.) 
Ranunculuses should be taken up, and spread in a dry, airy situation, pre- 
viously to laying them by. Roots put in last month will flower about the middle 
of September. It would be well also to plant some in pots for flowering in the j| 
greenhouse in winter. 
Rose-trees may be successfully budded ; the varieties of the China-rose do i 
best budded early in the season. 
Violets may still be propagated by divisions or cuttings. j 
Rockets, &c., when out of flower, cut down the stems nearly to the ground, 
and new shoots will spring up, from which a plentiful supply of cuttings may be ! 
gathered.
