FLORICULTURAL CALENDAR. 
with the following Species, and some other plants from the same 
country, it forms quite a new class of Horticultural objects, of great 
interest; representing, at Midsummer, which is their time of flower¬ 
ing, the Fritillaries and Tulips of the spring. They are probably 
quite as hardy as Tulips, like which they should be treated, unless 
it should prove that their bulbs are capable of living all the year 
round in the open ground. In the garden of the Horticultural So¬ 
ciety, they have been planted in the open border, in a light loamy 
soil, in a cold frame, where they grew with considerable vigour, 
flowered beautifully, and produced abundance of seed .---Bot. Reg. 
Cyclobothra pulchella. Deep Yellow Cyclobothra. We 
doubt whether this plant likes the climate of England so well as the 
last.-— Rot. Reg. 
ARTICLE XVIII.—FLORICULTURAL CALENDAR. 
Auriculas must be carefully preserved from slugs and caterpillars 
this month; and about the end of the month when they are quite 
out of flower pot them. Those plants intended to produce seed 
instead of being potted must be placed under a south wall, and have 
a good supply of water until the seed is ripe. 
Biennials raised on hotbeds should be planted in the open borders 
or in pots, about the end of the month. 
Cactae. —Watered carefully and treated, as recommended. 
Camellias being now in a growing state will require a temperature 
from 65 to 70 degrees by day, and from 55 to 60 by night, if about 
the end they have perfected their young shoots, immediately raise 
the heat to 80 or 85 degrees by day, and 70 or 75 degrees by night, 
to assist the formation of flower buds. 
Carnation. —Seed should be shaken out of the capsule and sown 
about the middle of the month in pans or pots, of light soil, and the 
seed must be very lightly covered. 
Chrysanthemum indicum. —Pot the best suckers in small sixty¬ 
sized pots, for flowering plants next season. 
Dahlias. —Plant out seedlings, and turn out those forwarded in pots 
into the open borders about the end. 
Erica Cuttings continue to put in, as recommended last month, 
and as stated Vols. 1 and 2. 
Jpomopsis elegans should be planted in a cold damp soil under ei¬ 
ther an eastern or western wall, about the end of the month, and 
others may be kept in pots to flower in the conservatory.
