“places are denuded of their occupants by disease. So fatal and universal 
“has this been, that it appears to partake of the nature of an epidemic. 
*Be this as it may, the cure or preventive seems quite beyond our control, 
“and: there appears. to us only one remedy, ‘and that one to interpose a

“the disease has originated in the unfavourable conditions of climate for 
“Peach growing the past two seasons. Glass coverings and orchard 
“houses must now be adopted as an imperative necessity where Peaches 
“are looked for in September. “It is an ill wind’ that’ blows’ no one 
“luck,” says the old proverb, and thus those who planted extensively 
“this | spring, when the weather was unfavourable, have now the satis- 
“faction of seeing their plants growing most freely.’ The dull weather 
“and extreme moisture of May and June have’ (es all in their favour.

CALENDAR FOR THE MONTH. 
Azaleas and Camellias—Attend to last month’s directions, and get 
Azaleas which have done blooming cleared of decaying blooms and 
~séed’ pods; ‘and weakly back shoots, which can be spared, cut out, the 
“shoots ‘nicely ‘distributed, ‘and the plants placed where they can be 
“afforded a moist rather warm’ atmosphere. © Keep them near to the 
‘glass, and allow each plant’ ample room, for crowding can only: result 
“in weak growth. Shade ‘carefully from bright sunshine, and use the 
“syringe freely, and see that none of the plants are imfested with black 
°thrips: “Any specimens ‘supposed to require more ‘pot room shouldbe 
‘shifted at once; so as to allow of their getting good hold of the fresh 
soil before winter!° Plants which have’ made their growth, and set 
“their flower buds, should be removed to a cool house, or shady ‘situation 
“out of doors; but do not expose them to bright ‘sunshine.’ Plants of 
o@amellias, which! ate making their ‘growth, must’ be guarded from 
“bright. sunshiné, kept ¥ather close, and’ afforded’ a moist atmosphere, 
~ syringing them freely overhead at least every evening; and plants 
‘yequiring more pot room should be’shifted as soon as convenient, using 
Dabout equal “parts good fibry ‘peat and light fibry loam, with a free 
“admixture of sharp sand. Secure perfect drainage and press the fresh 
“soil? firmly about the ball. © Conservatory.—Attend to keeping the 
“permanent plants well watered'at the root, and also see that they are 
>free from red spider and aphis. All plants making their growth should 
“be syringed overhead freely every evening wherever this can be done ; 
‘and ‘where this canriot be done without i injuring adjoining plants in 
~bloom, extra care should be ‘used to maintain’ a moist atmosphere, 
ogprinkling ‘or watering every available surface ‘sufficiently often to 
“prevent ‘their ever being dry during bright) hot weather. © Plants 
‘removed to here from the stove should be placed in the closest part of 
“the house, and avoid exposing them to through currents of drying air. 
“With a little care, Ixoras, Allamandas, Clerodendrons, Dipladenias, 
‘and ‘almost all stove plants, will do very well in this house at this season ; 
“and we have had Ixora coccinea ‘stand longer in full beauty’ in the
