OPERATIONS FOR APRIL. 
Anemones. Those roots planted in September and October will come into 
flower this month. See page 17- 
Anomatheca Cruenta may now be planted on a warm border in the open air. 
Vol. 1, page 103. 
Banks ias may now be potted in a mixture of peat, light loam, and a small 
portion of sand. Be particularly cautious to give a good drainage, Vol. 1. page 120. 
Another circumstance may be taken notice of here, which was omitted when treating 
on the culture of these plants ; that is, as they are so liable to be injured both by 
drought and over- watering, some pieces of freestone, about an inch or less square, 
may be placed amongst the soil, which by absorbing the moisture will prevent the 
roots from perishing so easily with drought, and at the same time also, by keeping 
a free circulation of water through the soil, they are not so liable to be injured by 
over-watering. 
Brachysema latifolia may still be propagated by layers, or inarched on the 
stocks of B. undulata ; or cuttings will strike pretty readily if planted in sand 
under a glass. 
Bouvardia triphylla. About the middle of the month collect all the plants 
of this species together, and repot them ; for particulars, see Vol. 1. page 225. 
Calandrinia speciosa, &c.j may be propagated by seeds and cuttings early in 
the month. Vol. 1. page 222. 
Calceolarias. All the annual species and varieties should now be sown on a 
hot-bed, if not done before. About the end, begin to expose the plants of shrubby 
and herbaceous kinds to a deal of air, and afterwards remove them from the green- 
house to a cold frame. Vol. 1. page 247* 
Calochortus yenustus and the other species will now be growing fast ; place 
the pots in which they are growing, in a very airy part of the green-house, until the 
beginning or middle of May, when they may be turned out into the open borders in 
a warm situation. Vol. 1. p. 75. 
Cyclamen persicum. At the end of the month take up the roots of the seed- 
lings raised from seeds gathered last year, and plant them in a bed of light soil, 
composed of loam, leaf-mould, and rotten dung, with a small portion of sandy peat. 
See Vol 1. page 180. 
Francoa. The roots may be still divided, and seeds sown, if not done before. 
Vol. 1. p. 235. 
Gardenia radicans and Florida should be potted and placed in heat, if not 
done before. The Florida should now be propagated by cuttings. Vol. 1. p. 226. 
Gesnerias. These plants may now be propagated by their leaves. Vol. 1. p. 13. 
Tacsonia pinnatistipula may now be propagated by cuttings of the previous 
year's shoots, planted in sandy soil, and plunged in a hot-bed. 
Oxalis crenata. Plant the tubers of this species in pots, and place them in a 
gentle heat to forward them, previous to turning out into the open ground.
