Pot off cuttings of greenhouse plants put in last month; and after beingestablished, harden them gradually for removal into the greenhouse or coldframes. Many Alpine plants in pots will now require fresh shifting, and the pots ofthose that do not must be fresh surfaced. Layer American plants; dig herbaceous beds, reducing the luxuriant kindsinto smaller patches, and divide those that are wished to be increased. Attend to the starting and propagating Dahlias. Continue to sow annuals in the open ground, to keep up a succession of theirflowers through the LEONTICE CHRYSOGONUM. (Golden-flowered Leontice.) LINNEAN SYSTEM. XT no NATURAL ORDER. No. 98.
