MONTHLY NOTICES*

JUNE. 
Propagate carnations by layers and pipings. Propagate double 
sweet-williams and pinks by layers and cuttings, or slips. 
Propagate perennial fibrous-rooted plants by cuttings of the 
stalks. 
Transplant the large annuals from the seedling bed to the 
places where they are to remain. Let this be done in showery 
weather, if possible. 
Take up all bulbs, ranunculuses, and anemone roots, &c., as the 
flowers and leaves decay. 
Water the delicate plants, if the weather proves dry: give a 
moderate watering every evening, but never in the heat of the 
day. 
Sow yet some hardy annuals, such as ten-week stocks, virgin 
stock, &c. 
Plant out China-asters, Chinese hollyhocks, ten-week stocks, 
large convolvolus, &c., but let each root have a ball of earth 
round it. 
Examine the perennial and biennial plants, to cut off all dead, 
broken, or decaying shoots. Trim the African and French mari¬ 
golds from their lower straggling shoots, that they may present a 
neat, upright appearance. Trim the chrysanthemums, which are 
apt to branch too near the root, and stake them neatly. 
Plant out carnations and pink seedlings into their proper places. 
Keep everything just moderately moist, if there is a long 
drought in this month. 
JULY. 
You may lay carnations and double sweet-williams still; but 
let it be done before the end of the second week in this month. 
Propagate pinks by slips and pipings
