fully lifted before the end of the month, and planted in six 
or seven inch pots, with light loamy soil. Place them in the 
shade till they take fresh root, and give them frequent sprink- 
lings of water. As soon as the foliage becomes ei - ect, expose 
them to the full sun, and treat as green-house plants. 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
These very ornamental plants blooming so late, and at a 
period when there are few others in flower, one of each variety 
(or two of some of the finest) should be lifted and put in 
eight-inch pots, in light loamy soil, and treated as above 
directed for stocks, &c. These will flower beautifully from 
October to December; and, when done blooming, the pots 
may be plunged in the garden, or covered with any kind of 
litter until spring, when they can be divided, and planted 
out.
