GARDENING CALENDAR FOR NOVEMBER. 
Annuals. — 'Such as are kept in the house 
should be placed near the light, and have all 
the air they can ; and should be very care- 
fully watered, in order to keep them as dwarf 
and stocky as possible. 
Azaleas. — Place such as are advancing, in 
a warmer place, in order to maintain a proper 
succession. Water regularly and thoroughly 
when necessary, in order to keep a fine 
foliage. 
Calceolarias. — Maintain a regularly moist, 
cool, and airy temperature about the plants, 
and pot off or shift such as may require it, 
Camellias. — Keep the plants cool and airy ; 
water regularly, just keeping the roots in a 
moderately moist condition. Move a few of 
the most advanced into the forcing-house, 
but let the increase of heat to the plants be 
very slight and gradual. 
Cape Bulbs, as ixias. gladiolus, &c. should 
be maintained in a state of perfect rest. 
Newly imported bulbs, if arriving at this 
time of the year in good condition, should 
also be kept over till the spring. 
Cephalotus follicularis (New Holland 
pitcher-plant). — Former directions should be 
referred to, and a rather warmer and more 
airy exposure given it to guard against damp. 
Cinerarias. — Such as are very forward 
may be assisted by a little heat ; shift such as 
require it ; water regularly, and rather copi- 
ously. 
Chrysanthemums. — Yfater those in flower 
regularly and freely, according to the state of 
the weather ; remove such as are past flower- 
ing to a frame, or the best shelter available, 
plunging the pots if exposed out of doors. 
Crassulas, and allied plants, as sempervi- 
vum, should be kept warm and dry, and well 
exposed to air and light. 
Cyclamens. — Any that are pushing should 
be steadily encouraged, but not forced too 
fast ; they are better dormant until the turn 
of the season. 
Epacris. — Free ventilation, a regular mois- 
ture at the roots, and a rather low tempera- 
ture, will answer best with these plants at 
present. 
Ericas. — The greatest amount of air possi- 
ble must be given, with a moderate amount of 
moisture at the roots. Great care must also 
be taken against mildew in damp, foggy wea- 
ther ; against this a free and dry atmosphere 
is the best guard. Remove any plants af- 
fected to another house as soon as the attack 
is noticed, and dress them with sulphur. 
Fuchsias. — Still keep these in a state of 
rest ; or any that are in an active state should 
be kept in the coolest and airiest part of the 
house, and get very little water. 
Gompholobiums, and slender creepers, 
should be still kept in a warm but airy place, 
and water supplied with great caution, but 
they must never be allowed to get dry. 
Haworthias, Apicras, &c. — Give water 
only sufficient to prevent them from decreas- 
ing in bulk, and keep them in a warm part of 
the house. 
Helichrysums should be watered sparingly, 
and be kept in a dry and airy part of the 
house. 
Leschenaultias. — Maintain a dry airy 
temperature, and use water with great caution, 
although the roots must never be allowed to 
become dry. 
Lilium japonicum (Japan lily). — Keep 
the roots cool and dry, so as to run no risk of 
starting them into premature growth. 
Mignonette. — The tree-like plants should 
now be in full perfection ; — water regularly, 
but rather sparingly ; and remove the flower- 
spikes before too many of the seed-vessels 
swell so large as to rob the plants of nourish- 
ment, which checks their blooming. 
New Holland plants, as acacias, hoveas, 
bossiasas, &c. require watering regularly, but 
must not receive too much either of moisture 
or heat, so as to encourage a premature growth. 
Orange trees. — Maintain these in a light 
and airy situation if possible, and apply only 
sufficient moisture to keep the roots in a 
healthy condition. 
Oxalis. — Keep all the bulbous species per- 
fectly dry, and apply very little water to the 
succulent stemmed sorts. 
Pelargoniums. — Keep the plants rather 
warm, but still allow a free circulation of air, 
or they will suffer. Stop and tie out the 
branches as they advance. Remove a few of 
the earlier sorts to the coolest part of the 
forcing-house, in order to keep up the succes- 
sion with those similarly treated last month. 
Of course any intended for such use, or to 
come in before the main bloom, should not be 
stopped now. 
Primulas. — Pot off the seedlings, and con- 
tinue to shift the more advanced plants as 
occasion requires. Keep the plants rather 
moist, but also airy, so that no stagnation of 
water may take place near them. Continue to 
pick out the flowers of such as are wanted to 
bloom late in the spring. 
Proteas, Banksias, Dryandras, &c. — 
Adhere to the treatment previously given, 
guarding cautiously against damp. 
Rhododendrons. — Keep them in a cool, 
airy situation, and water regularly but cau- 
tiously, giving no more than sufficient to keep 
the roots in a medium moist state ; a few of 
the commoner sorts may be moved to the cool 
end of the forcing-house, but none of any 
value should be thus treated at this season. 
Roses. — Those turned out against pillars 
or trellises should be kept rather dry, if the
