pot3 in some dry situation, secure from frost. Dry off Gloxinias. "Repot 
Cacti; for these the earth should not be quite so rich as for summer growth. 
FLOWER GARDEN. 
Dry off Dahlias in pots ; keep the others neatly tied ; they should now have 
three or four stakes, so as to open them to the sun and air. Take up the layers 
of Picotees, pot them in small forty-eight sized pots, put two plants in each ; 
let the earth be of an open texture; two-thirds roads crapings, and one-third good 
friable loam is a very good mixture. Plant out pipings of Pinks, &c. Keep 
the Auriculas from wet and sun ; they must be watered gently about twice or 
three times a week. Begin now to prepare your ground for tulips. Hyacinths 
and Forcing Bulbs in general must now be potted and plunged out of doors. 
Keep the walks and lawns constantly rolled. Cuttings of Pansies which are 
struck must now be potted for the winter. 
Sow seed of all biennials towards the end of the month. Chrysanthemums 
may be brought in doors to perfect their bloom. Cuttings of any desirable 
kind of plant may yet be taken ; they require more heat now than last month.
