e if the weather prove clear. Attend to transplanting Balsams, Cockscombs, and other tender annuals, andwhen established and the pots filled with roots, they must be shifted into larger-sized pots. The peat of the hotbeds, where they are placed, must be kept up byfresh linings when necessary, much of the success of having them fine dependingupon keeping them growing luxuriantly, without check, either for want of heator pot room. 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 season.
