the pots, and re-potting in light sandy soil. Stove and greenhouse plants ought also to be re-potted where it is necessary. Layer American plants, that require being struck from the young wood;several other shrubs, such as require common soil, ought also to be layered. Prick out rooted Pink Pipings to strengthen them before they are finallytransplanted into the flowering beds. Collect seeds of the Annuals and other plants as they ripen. Stake and tie up mostly all plants requiring that care. Hoe and keep neat all beds, borders, Sec. Set out glasses and other traps for destroying wasps, flies, &c. which are verydestructive to the ripening fruit. Saxifrages and other Alpine plants will require dividing, to enable them towithstand the ensuing winter. Sow Annuals for early flowering next season, of such as are known to beperfectly hardy, and particularly Californian plants. Sow Mignionette in pots for spring flowering. Put in Pansies and double wall-flower cuttings in a shaded border.
