l’LOWER DEPARTMENT. 
Azaleas cuttings put in, in July, will now probably require potting off. 
Camellias , if wanted to flower early, should be taken into the greehhouse in the beginning of 
the month, whilst the others may remain out of doors until the beginning of October. Graft¬ 
ing and budding too, are often performed upon them at this time, but we prefer the spring sea¬ 
son. 
Carnations, layed last month, will require potting off. 
Calceolarias, cut down in July, will begin to flower about the end of the month. Place them 
in an airy part of the greenhouse. 
China Rose cuttings strike very freely now, if planted under a hand-glass, on a south-east or 
south-west aspect, and are potted off in the spring; but they become fine plants in much less 
time, when planted in spring. 
Chimonanthus fragrans may still be increased by layers and cuttings, as recommended last 
month, page 383. 
Cyclamen per si cum, if not turned out of the pots into a sheltered border, let this be done as 
early in this month as possible, page 213.

possible, page 384.

of January.
