Flower Garden.—Proceed with planting. Take up and divide herbaceous 
plants. Prune roses and cut off all superfluous, straggling, and dead branches 
of trees and shrubs. ‘Turfing lawns should be proceeded with at once. Sow 
eandytuft, poppy, larkspur, dianthus, nasturtium, foxglove, Canterbury bells, 
&c. Plant bulbs as recommended in March. Dianthus will give a mass of 
bloom the whole year round if sown now. We have dianthus now in full 
bloom which was sown in March, 1897. By pruning and cutting off all dead 
blooms the plants are still in full vigour, and bloom profusely. 
Cultural Notes for ‘Tropical Queensland. 
[The Cultural Notes for Tropical Queensland, kindly supplied by Mr. E. Cowley, Kamerunga 
State Nursery, are given a month in advance, for the obvious reason that the Journal cannot 
reach some parts of the far North until the month of issue is well-nigh over, and hence the 
monthly notes would be valueless until the following year, | 
JULY.
