AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, 
[September, 
Hanging Baskets, so pleasing in winter, may be 
planted now to get a good start. Use plenty of 
i?y, which bears transplanting at any season, as 
cloci the money-wort. Cuphea platycentra is capital 
as a centre piece. 
Bulbs for winter blooming may be potted if they 
are at hand or can be obtained. After the bulbs 
are put in, plunge them in dry earth, or cover with 
coal ashes until time to start them. 
Cuttings of bedding plants may be made for a 
winter stock. 
Annuals, which arc desirable for winter bloom¬ 
ing, may be sown. Candytuft and Mignonette are 
always in requisition.
