GARDENING CALENDAR FOR JULY 
shading during bright sunshine, and taking 
the lights off on warm nights. Such as have 
not completed their growth should be kept 
moderately close and warm, and in a shady 
part of the house. 
Cape Bulbs, as ixias, gladiolus, &c, should 
be gradually dried off, and kept exposed to the 
full light and heat of the sun, in any situation 
where they can be protected from heavy rains. 
Cephalotus follicidaris (New Holland 
pitcher-plant). — Keep in a shady but airy 
situation, and do not let it suffer for want of 
moisture. 
Cinerarias. — Shift such as require it, and 
grow them in cold frames or pits facing the 
north ; water freely, occasionally with manure 
water ; shade during bright weather, and 
remove the lights at night. Pot off a succes- 
sional batch of suckers, and treat them like 
the others, keeping the frames rather close 
until they are well rooted. 
Chrysanthemums. — Layer those turned out, 
into small pots filled with rich sandy soil, and 
fix them by using pegs long enough to pene- 
trate four or five inches through the pot into 
the ground beneath. Water regularly. Shift 
such as require it, and stop the shoots so as to 
make them branch : keep them in a rather 
shady place, and water freely, occasionally with 
manure water. 
Crassulas, and allied plants, as semper- 
vivum, should be sparingly watered, if they 
have stopped growing j if otherwise, water 
abundantly, and expose them to the greatest 
amount of light and heat attainable with a 
free circulation of air. 
Cyclamens should be kept so dry as not to 
shrivel up too much ; place them in an airy 
situation. 
Epacris. — Grow away in the house or in 
pits, shading in bright weather, and maintain- 
ing a free circulation of air about the pots and 
plants. Be very attentive in watering, that 
the balls be thoroughly soaked. 
Ericas. — Shift such as require it, and stop 
those that are growing in a straggling manner ; 
place the coarser growing sorts in a sheltered 
situation under an awning, by which they can 
be protected from the sun and rain, but roll it 
up on every fine night, so as to expose the 
plants to the action of the dew or light 
showers. In potting use plenty of drainage, 
so as to ensure the rapid passage of the 
superfluous moisture when the plants are 
watered. They now require water often, and 
in considerable quantity, so as to ensure the 
earth being kept in a regular moist state. 
The smaller plants and more tender species 
should be grown in pits, where they should be 
kept near the glass, and freely ventilated ; 
they should also be exposed at night in very 
fine weather. 
Fuchsias. — Shift such as require it, especially 
if large specimens are wanted: water copiously, 
occasionally using manure water. Cut back 
some, to form a fresh growth to bloom late in 
autumn, and propagate any desirable sorts. 
Fumigate if the green fly makes its appear- 
ance, and syringe to check red spider. 
Gompholobiums and slender creepers should 
be regularly trained to their trellises, so that 
every part may be equally furnished with 
young wood, avoiding too upright a direction, 
in order to prevent the young shoots from 
bunching at the top of the trellis, and thus 
leaving the bottom bare. 
Haworthias, Apicras, &c. — Keep them in 
a warm situation, and water freely if they are 
in a growing state. Expose them fully to the 
sun, and maintain a free circulation of air 
about the pots and plants. 
Helichrysums. — Grow these in a light airy 
situation, and water freely as long as they are 
growing, guarding against stagnant water about 
the roots at all times. 
Leschenaultias. — Shift if necessary, and 
keep the plants in a light airy situation, 
shading in the middle of the day ; such as 
have completed their growth may be put 
on an airy stage in the house, and the sup- 
ply of water may be gradually lessened for a 
time. 
Lilium japonicum (Japan Lily). — Keep in 
an airy and rather cool place, and water freely 
as they advance towards flowering, using 
manure water occasionally. 
Mignonette. — Sow in pots out of doors, to 
introduce when in a flowering state; stop and 
train the plants intended for trees or bushes 
to a single stem, cutting out all the flower buds 
entirely. 
New Holland plants, as acacias, hoveas, bos- 
sia?as, &c. — Water regularly, and stop luxuriant 
shoots so as to form a neat_ head : shade the 
more delicate sorts, and guard against worms 
in the pots. 
Orange Trees. — Water and syringe copiously, 
using manure water about once a week while 
plants are growing. Regulate the heads, and 
protect those out of doors from damage by 
strong winds. 
Oxalis. — Withhold water from those whose 
foliage is dead, and place the pots in a dry, hot, 
and airy situation. 
Pelargoniums. — Cut down those out of 
flower, and place them out in a hot dry ex- 
posure, giving very little water, and protecting 
them from heavy rains. Those which were 
earlier treated thus should now be potted : 
shake the old earth entirely away from the 
roots, and prune them well in ; pot them in 
small pots, using a sandy, rather poor com- 
post ; place them in rather close frames, and 
water very sparingly. Sow seed as soon as it
