OPERATIONS IN THE FLOWER GARDEN FOR 
NOVEMBER. 
Anemones planted during this month will produce flowers about the middle of 
May. See the particular directions, vol. 2, page 17. 
Gardenias. — Cuttings of G. radicans, which were put in last month, give a 
brisk bottom heat, and as soon as they have made good roots, pot them off into 
sixty -sized pots, and treat them as recommended, vol. 1, page 226. 
Bouvardia triphylla growing in the open borders, if not convenient to 
take up and pot, cut off the tops, and place a flower pot over the roots to protect 
them from frost or heavy wet. Vol. 1, page 226. 
Oxalis crenata. — Take up the tubers on a fine day, and allow them to be 
exposed a while to the sun, in the same manner as potatoes ; afterwards remove 
them to the store-room, and keep them from dampness until the planting time 
next April. All the greenhouse species, the tops of which are dead, place in dry, 
cool situations, and give no water until spring. Vol. 1, page 230. 
Calochortus. — The bulbs of the different species which were taken up in 
September should be planted again in forty-eight sized pots by the middle of this 
month. Vol. 1, page 175. 
Gladioli in the open borders, and those in pots, now placed in frames, must be 
sheltered from excessive wet. Vol. 1, page 97. 
Greenhouse Plants, during this month particularly, must have a deal of air 
and very little water, and if the house in which they grow become damp, a little fire 
must be made to dry it, or the plants will soon suffer injury. 
Stove Plants will require much less heat now than they have been accus- 
tomed to for some months. Keep the heat about sixty degrees Fahrenheit, and 
never allow the thermometer to rise above seventy by fire heat ; also be very sparing 
of water this month, as the greater part of the plants will now be wintering. 
Succulent Plants should be kept cool and have no water at all. 
This is also the season to make any alterations in the pleasure or flower gardens 
that may be deemed necessary, and to collect soils for the various kinds of plants. 
Cuttings of plants put in now do not strike so readily as at 
other times in the year, but with proper care they will grow. 
Plant them close to the edge of the pot, as in the annexed 
figure.
