•There would be a distinct advantage to gardens, if it were realised that herbaceous plants, 
climbers, rare shrubs (so far as grown in pots), can be planted in late Spring, Summer or early 
Autuipni with less risk of losses, and a decided gain of growth, in the following season, than if 
planted hi late Autumn, Winter or early Spring, as so frequently done. Even if the per- 
manent situation of a plant is for a time otherwise occiqiied, there is still an advantage m 
buying in the first named periods, and putting the plants in an ont of the way place, such 
as a Kitchen Garden, and taking from there, when the permanent situation is at liberty. With 
this treatment, the plant often has more fibrous roots ; it has recovered the clieck of a journey, 
change of climate, or treatment, and it commences to grow at the root, generally at once.
