tion, where they may remain till it is wished to bring them into flower. 
Chrysanthemums in pots, should be removed into the greenhouse. 
Give abundance of air to keep them from drawing. 
Calceolarias cut down, as recommended Vol 2 page 267, will now 
come beautifully into flower. Keep them in a cool, airy, situation 
in the greenhouse. 
Cyclamens that were planted out in the open border, as recom¬ 
mended Vol. II, must be taken up and repotted when the leaves are 
well formed, and the pots set for awhile in a situation where they 
will receive a little heat; but when they have established themselves, 
and begin to show flower, remove them to an airy part of the green¬ 
house, or conservatory, to flower. If the roots were planted at first in 
pots, place them in a cold frame, or out of doors, until they have be¬ 
gun to form their leaves, when they may be placed in a warm green¬ 
house or frame, until they show flower, when they should be removed 
to a cool airy situation. Give abundance of air, and water ju¬ 
diciously. 
Cactuses placed out of floors in June, should be brought into the 
greenhouse as early as possible, if not done before. Place them in a 
situation where they will receive plenty of light and air during winter. 
Greenhouse Plants .—Not later than the first week, prepare fo re¬ 
move such as have stood out of doors, into the greenhouse. Clean 
and properly tie them previous to setting them on the stage. Give 
abundance of air day and night, but decrease it as the weather be¬ 
comes colder. 
Hyacinths may be planted in beds in a light dry soil, in rows, 
eighteen inches apart, and six inches from root to root in the rows. 
Or they may be planted in pots four inches deep, and three inches 
wide; put a little rotten dung in each pot, and fill up with light rich 
soil. Plant the bulbs so shallow, that nearly half will stand above 
the soil; plunge the pots in the open air, and cover them six or eight 
inches deep with rotten bark. 
Dahlias .—In the beginning of the month, lay about three or four 
inches thickness of rotten bark or leaf mould over the roots, and for 
two feet round the stem of each plant: this is done to prevent the 
crown of the plant from being damaged by sharp and sudden frosts. 
When the tops are cut down, take up the roots, selecting, if possible, 
a dry windy day for the purpose : remove them to an airy situation 
till dry, and lay them on shelves secure from damp or frost, and cover 
them with dry sand or tan. 
Forcing .—Plants intended for forcing, as Rhododendrons, Pinks, 
Carnations, &c., must now be taken up and potted.
