September; but certainly the best time iot 
so doing is soon after they are out of bloom, 
say about the 2*2d or 23d of May, and more 
especially if the weather is a little inclined to 
be rather show^ery ; but I have transplanted 
my flowers with great success from the 29th 
of May to the 12th of June, even also as late 
as the 10th of July; on no account remove 
a general collection a week later, at least those 
you intend to bloom very strong ; by this means 
they will have time enough to be well rooted 
before the winter, and if you transplant them 
early in the spring, it will be so near their 
time of blowing, that the check they will re- 
ceive by transplanting Avill prevent their 
blooming strong. 
I should much object to their being removed 
every year ; for although the young oftsets, 
and young plants in their small pots, must 
be removed as before directed, yet the large, 
strong blowing roots should not be removed 
more than once in two \"ears ; to do it oftener 
would be to run a risk of not having any fine 
flowers to exhibit on your stage, or even to 
shew for a prize ; because these plants never 
thrive rightly, till the roots have reached the 
sides of the pots, and it seldom or never happens 
that they get sufficiently well established, in a
