OPERATIONS FOR NOVEMBER. 
weather at this season ; still every opportunity should be talcen to g-ive a plentiful 
supply of air, when the weather is fine and mild ; water as directed above. 
STOVE. 
The most important operations in this department at this season, consist in 
keeping the plants clean and neat, and properly watered. The temperature in the 
night should not exceed 70°, and in the day not 75°. Succulents will mould and 
rot if not watered with the utmost caution. Bulbs of Amaryllises^ &c. will not 
need any water until they show symptoms of growth, when they should receive 
a little, and be removed into a somewhat higher temperature for early spring 
flowering. Ferns should be daily watched, and watered sparingly ; the lender kinds 
and seedlings, as well as those not well established in the soil, often suffer from 
want of attention in this respect. 
GREENHOUSE. 
Keep succulents free from damp. Give plenty of water to flowering chrysan- 
themums. Decayed branches and decaying leaves should be carefully removed. 
Camellias that were started very early last spring, and have been since kept in heat, 
will be now in flower ; they may be brought into the greenhouse, where they make 
a pretty show ; those having the blossoms not open, yet swelling for expansion, 
should have plenty of water, as without it they are very liable to throw the flowering 
buds. Any desired to flower early in the spring should be taken into the Pine 
Stove or other place where a little heat is kept. Bulbs if well tended will flower 
stron gand abundantly. Seeds of Stocks, Larkspurs, Schizanthus, Salpiglossis^ 
&c., sown last month should now be potted off and placed in a light situation. 
Nemophila imignis, aiomaria, aurita, &c., sown early in this month, carefully 
watered, &c. during winter, will make fine plants for flowering in pots in the spring. 
A little seed of Clintonia pulchella might be sown and carefully managed till 
spring. 
FLOWER-GARDEN. 
See directions for last month, page 216. Pot off young seedlings ; attend imme- 
diately, if not already done, to the potting off of young Pink Pipings if sufficiently 
struck. Tender species of Pinus, border plants, or indeed tender plants of any de- 
cription that the frost is liable to injure, should be judiciously protected with mats, 
awning, or other efficient material. Dahlia roots should be looked after ; a little 
coarse material over the roots will secure the surface buds from nipping frosts. 
Temporary awning, where practicable, will preserve the flowers for a short time 
against slight frosts and cutting winds. 
Attend to winter operations, such as digging and manuring the borders, dividing 
roots of perennials, &c. where too large, repairing edgings, effecting improvements, 
&c. &c.
