OPERATIONS FOR JUNE. 
Duplicate stove and greenhouse plants, which are not required for the houses, should now he 
turned out without delay, and some of both classes may be plunged in their pots, or turned 
into the open borders for the season. The progress they make, and the extent to which they are 
benefited by such treatment, is great. Good judgment must of course guide the selection of kinds so 
treated, and all due care given as to the time and manner of restoring them to proper shelter again. 
Annuals may yet be transplanted, and seeds of many sown to produce late flowers. Fully 
matured choice bulbs ought not to be allowed to remain in the ground, and no bulbous or other 
plants be permitted to ripen seeds, unless it be particularly desirable to obtain such. Of course 
annuals are excluded from this remark. 
Plant pink pipings and propagate pansies or any other plants, which point out this as the proper 
period for their increase. Thinning the buds of pinks, and tying carnations to neat stakes, are 
amongst the operations now necessary. 
The prevailing weather will determine how far in the open air watering-pots should be in 
requisition, and the condition of plants whether an occasional supply of weak liquid manure might 
prove advantageous. 
General out-of-doors cleaning ; miscellaneous business, much of which will not now admit of the 
least neglect ; securing and training climbers ; tying plants generally, for growth is at this time very 
rapid ; thinning annuals, and watching after depredators of every kind, are among the many matters 
which must now be attended to.
