THE PLEASURE, OR FLOWER GARDEN. 
Carnations and Pinks. 
Your late carnation and pink layers must now be taken off as 
soon as they are well rooted, and be treated as directed in July and 
August; the earlier in the month that you can do this the better 
will the plants be rooted before winter. 
Towards the end of the month you may transplant from the 
nursery beds the seedling pinks and carnations into such beds and 
borders as you intend them to flower in; observing to take each 
plant up with a ball of earth, and to give it some water when newly 
planted. 
Jiuriculas. 
The auricula plants still require due attention, but particularly 
those shifted last month; they must yet be kept in the shade and 
moderately watered, as often as the earth appears rather dry, to 
promote a free growth and a good supply of new roots before 
winter. 
If the shifting had been neglected last montli it may yet be done, 
but the beginning of August is a more eligible period. 
Particular care must now be taken to keep the auricula seed- 
lings, as well as the old plants, free from decayed leaves and 
weeds of every kind, to keep the earth about them in a moderate 
state of moisture, that the plants may grow freely and obtain 
strength before winter. 
Sowing Seeds of Bulbous -rooted Flowers. 
This will be a very proper time to sow the seeds of tulips, hya- 
cinths, and of every other kind of bulbous-rooted flowers that have 
perfected seed in the preceding part of the season. These seeds 
should be sown separately in boxes filled with good sound garden 
mould, mixed with a small portion of sand or with hyacinth or 
tulip compost; sow the seeds pretty thick and cover them about 
half an inch deep. The depth of earth in each box should be at 
least one foot, the bottoms of the boxes should be perforated with 
holes, each about an inch in diameter, and covered with shells, in 
order that any extra moisture may drain off thereby. The boxes 
are then to be placed in a warm exposure, and will require no- 
water, or any other attention than the keeping of them perfectly
