When potted, place them again under a hand-glass or two, or in a 
cold frame, hut they must stand on a dry bottom, or they will soon 
perish. When they have begun to grow, expose them by degrees, 
until they will bear to be treated like old plants.

OPERATIONS IN THE FLOWER-GARDEN, FOR AUGUST. 
Azaleas may yet be propagated by cuttings of the young wood, 
taken off close to the plants, and planted in sand under a hand-glass, 
in a shady situation. 
Camellias wanted to flower early may be brought into the green¬ 
house, the remainder may stand out of doors till the end of Septem¬ 
ber, or beginning of October. 
Carnations may be layed or raised from cuttings, taken off at the 
third joint, and planted under a hand-glass. Transplant seedlings 
six inches apart, in light rich earth. 
Calceolarias intended to flower late in the autumn should now have 
the branches cut down to within an inch of the soil and be top-dressed. 
Cuttings may still be put in with success. 
Chimonanthus fragrans may be increased by layers ; cuttings of 
the young wood will also grow, if planted in sand under a bell-glass, 
and the pot be plunged in a little heat. 
Cyclamen persicum should be turned out of the pots in which 
they flowered, and planted in an open but sheltered border. 
Dahlia cuttings may yet be put in with success. 
Greenhouse Plants of most sorts may still be propagated by cut¬ 
tings. 
Mignonette, to stand the winter in pots, should be sown about the 
middle of the month, in light, sandy, maiden soil, perfectly free 
"from dung. 
Orange and Lemon Stocks may be budded, if this were not the 
case last month. Cuttings may also be put in. 
Pinks may yet be propagated by pipings, planted under a hand¬ 
glass, if a sufficient quantity be not put in. 
Ranunculuses should be taken up, if this operation were not per¬ 
formed last month, and spread in a dry, airy situation, previously to 
their being laid by. Those planted last month will flower about the 
middle of September. Also plant some in pots to flower in mid¬ 
winter, in the greenhouse. 
Rose Trees of most sorts may still be budded, but the varieties of 
China do the best, if budded early in the season.
