OPERATIONS IN NOVEMBER. 
American plants in exposed situations, if the winds be very cutting, should 
have a few laurel branches stuck about them to protect them. 
Auriculas, be careful not to over water them; give plenty of air; and preserve 
them from injury by frost, p. 9. 
Azaleas, now brought into an increasing temperature, will continue in flower 
till February, p. 126, rules 5 and 6. 
Camellias may be introduced into the vinery, &c. as they are wanted to bloom ; 
care, however, must be taken not to give them a greater heat than 60 degrees by 
day, and something less by night, p. 34, rule 15. 
Chrysanthemums in pots will require abundance of air, to prevent the flowers 
from expanding weakly. See p. 187. 
Calceolarias, cut down in July, will still be in flower. Continue to keep 
them in a cool, airy part of the green-house. 
Dahlias will now require taking up ; choose a dry, windy day for the purpose, 
shake off the soil carefully, so as not to twist the roots, and place them in an airy 
shed until perfectly dry, p. 104. 
Green-house plants must receive no water this month, unless when the soil 
in the pots becomes quite dry : be also careful during this month that none falls 
on the leaves, for if they become wet they will be liable to damp off. Give 
abundance of air whenever the weather will permit, p. 137- 
Forcing. — About the end of the month Rhododendrons, pinks, &c. &c. may be 
introduced into a gradual heat. 
Mignonette, in pots, must be well sheltered from frost, and have very little 
water, which, when required, should always be given on a clear day, and in the 
morning. 
Hyacinths should be planted; see Calendar for October, also p. 41. 
Roses, in pots, now brought into the forcing-house, produce flowers in January, 
p. 144. 
Ranunculuses, now planted in frames, will flower in March and April. 
Prepare beds for planting out of doors in March, p. 42. 
Ten-week Stocks, sown in September, must have plenty of air and little 
water, and be well preserved from frost. 
Tulips may now be planted, and seed sown in pans or boxes, p. 61. 
Erratum. — We are sorry that we were led into a mistake in calling the Paonia edulis Reeve siana , 
figured in our last, a Moutan or Tree Peony ; this is not the fact, as the plant is an herbaceous species or 
variety, and certainly a rare plant.
