Pink Pipings should now be transplanted into store beds, or flowering beds,according to the strength of the plants. Dahlias will require much care this month in staking and tying up. Theflowers should also be shaded from the sun when fine flowers are wanted. Layers of Carnations, Picotees, Jand Cloves, should now be taken off andplanted into pots. Sow Californian and other annuals, that are hardy enough to endure ourwinter, for early planting next season ; also collect seeds of annuals and otherplants as they ripen. Put in cuttings of such Ericas and Epacrises as are most difficult to root,choosing cuttings of fine wood, and they will be rooted by next 113 DAHLIA SCAPIGERA. • (Scape-bearing Dahlia.)
