OPERATIONS FOR JUNE. 
Auriculas, with the exception of those which are to produce seed, must now 
he potted. The proper sized pot for a good flowering plant is ten inches deep, and 
eight inches wide at the top (inside measure). Good drainage of broken pot is 
indispensable, see page 11, rules 11 and 12. 
Biennials which have been raised on a slight hotbed, may be transplanted in 
the open borders or pots in the beginning, if not done last month, see p. 66. 
Camellias that have been subjected to heat, if they have perfected their 
flower buds, must gradually be exposed to more cold until by the end of the month 
they may be set out of doors in a shady situation. See page 33, rules 7, 8, and 9. 
Carnations. — In the beginning of the month give the flowering plants in 
pots a top-dressing, see page 103, rule 20. 
Calceolaria Fothergilli, Corymbosa, &c., and some others may now be 
propagated by cuttings put in sandy peat and covered with a bell or hand-glass. 
Dahlias, brought forward either in pots or by other means, and roots which 
have not been started at all, may be planted in the open border in the beginning of 
the month. 
Erica cuttings may be put in, as recommended p. 67. 
Greenhouse Plants generally may be turned out of doors in the beginning 
of the month. The situation must be sheltered from all cutting winds, and 
where the plants will not be exposed to the full rays of the sun. After the green- 
house plants are removed fill the house with tender annuals, &c. 
The Garden should be furnished in 
different shady situations with rustic and 
ornamental chairs or other seats, from which 
to sit and view the beauties of nature and 
art. A figure of one sent to us by Mr. 
Saul some time ago, and given in the Hor- 
ticultural Register, page 462, would no 
doubt have a very good effect either on a 
grassplot or under a tree. This seat is 
supported by three or more large leaves, 
according to the taste of the proprietor, and 
the back is formed of a similar number. A 
shield may be placed in the centre one, (as 
E. S.) upon which the initials of the owner 
might be engraved. The whole is formed 
of hard wood at but little expense.
