Stakes for upi-ight-growing species thatneed support, and trellises, or whatever else it is determined to apply to them, for climbers, shouldbe furnished as soon as they are established; and weak specimens of every kind should betimely staked. Half-hardy and hardy annuals may still be transplanted or thinned, and it is not yet too lateto make additional sowings for the flower-borders.

Pelargoniums, or other plants inflower, must be slightly shaded in the middle of the day, and Orchidaceae must be kept dulyshaded. Insects should be properly kept under by water, by fumigation, or by the frequentapplication of a small SSil^m ad-felttb- (TOoyCt^Xyn.^.^^ ,/c^c/3(,/^^ytJ. HABRANTHUS PRATENSIS. Class. HEXANDRIA.
