Work to he done in the Garden . 
In June we shall have some of the nicer kinds 
of cuttings struck in May that will perhaps be 
ready to pot out for window-plants in winter. 
Fuchsias, sweet-scented Geraniums, and Myrtles 
are my own especial favourites, and Heliotropes 
also are pleasant things to grow. You should be 
careful to put these plants in the smallest sized 
pots that they seem to thrive in. I think four-inch 
pots are large enough for almost any young win- 
dow-plants, and so at first a still smaller size may 
do. You should always be very careful in the 
drainage you use for window-plants — a few little 
bits of broken pot with moss over them does very 
well, and then amongst the soil you can put a little 
charcoal. Half-charred turf and soil from just 
beneath it, is excellent for such plants.

July is really June-work over again. But for 
this month I will describe to you the art of bud- 
ding Roses, and if you are as delighted when your 
first bud takes as I can remember being when I 
found a long shoot from mine, I can only say that it 
is trouble well spent both to describe the process
