OPERATIONS FOR JULY. 
I 
Auricula seed should be sown as soon as ripe, and the plants from which it 
was gathered be potted., page 10, rule 9. 
Azaleas should now be propagated by cuttings of the young wood, planted in 
sand under a hand-glass. 
Carnations.- — Transplant seedlings six inches apart, in an open airy situation, 
in fresh light earth. The flowering plants may also be layered, or pipings planted 
under a hand-glass, page 67- 
Calceolarias. — Cuttings may still be planted in sandy peat and covered with 
a hand-glass, also the old plants should have a top-dressing. 
Dahlias may yet be propagated by cuttings. The old plants will also require 
staking, page 106, rule 27 - 
Greenhouse Plants of most sorts may be propagated by cuttings ; those in 
pots standing out of doors will require a good supply of water. 
Late Annuals. — Hardy annuals sown now come into flower the end of Sep- 
tember, page 19. 
Lemon and Orange Stocks may be budded about the end, if the bark will 
rise freely, page 93, rule 15. 
Ranunculuses, &c., now being out of bloom, and the tops dead, must be taken 
up and spread in a dry airy situation previously to being laid by, page 44, rule 10. 
Roots now planted will flower in October, page 45, rules 11 and 13. 
Rockets. — When out of flower, cut down the stems nearly to the ground, to 
induce shoots to grow for cuttings, page 108, rule 1. 
Rose Acacias, having their shoots shortened early in the month, will push 
anew, and flower again in the autumn. 
Rose Trees should now be budded. Those trained on trellis infested with 
the aphis, should be syringed with a mixture of tobacco-water, and clear lime and 
soot-water. 
Tigridia favonia. — Seedlings transplanted on a hot-bed may now be fully 
exposed to the air, page 85, rule 5. 
Violets may be readily increased by the young shoots, which are plentifully 
striking roots at this time, page 115,
