Look to the watearinp-. hoeing', mannrinsj, staking^, and t\dng of dahlia nlants, which are just beginn ncr to make their jump forward. Find room for at least one Mina lobataâthat f^rand annual creeper. Di? up and store in a drv cool nlace late bulbs whose foli- aje has withered. Keen paths and beds free from rubbish, drv leaves, and weeds. These not onlv make the p^arden look untidv, but are a harbour for ship's and snaHs. Use the liquid manure can amonest those vounor and vig-or- ous seedlinors which are iust beiin- nin? to present their flower buds. Remove old flowers Irom zonale nelarToniums, and keen the soil b'3tween them well stirred up with the hoe. Chrvsanthemums.âMany of the nlants will have reached a fair hei<rht, and will now reouire stak- inp-. Stakes made of a good stout fencino--wire can be used, but iron stakes are the best, but as thev are pretty costly, thev are not within the reach of all srrow- ers. A good neat stake is a small bamboo. Give a stake 'to each ^ stem of the r1'nt. In putting in stakes leave them longer than the heig-ht to which the stalk is calcu- lated to grow, as a piece can he cut off readily, but not so readily added if required. growers do not stake the plants so earlv, but doing so has the advantap-e in assistinpr to train the leaders strai^hter, than if left to a later period.
