Some of the most hardy and woody plants may be removed from the
greenhouse to a cold pit, where they can be protected from frost. It
will make more room for the Cinerarias, Pelargoniums, and other such
plants.
Azaleas.--Such as have done blooming to be repotted, and their fresh
growth to be gently promoted in a higher temperature for a short time.
Camellias.--Continue to keep a moist atmosphere about the plants making
wood, with a temperature of about 65 deg. by day and 55 deg. by night.
Air to be given at all opportunities, to produce sturdy, short-jointed
wood. The plants in flower to be shaded during bright sunshine.
Cinerarias.--Regular attention to be given to them, that they may not
suffer by want of water.
Climbers.--Regulate them as they grow, more particularly those in pots
which are intended to cover a wire trellis. Kennedyas, Thunbergias,
Nierembergias, Tropaeolums, and other such plants of a slender and
tender habit, delight in a soil the greater proportion being composed of
leaf mould.
Chrysanthemums.--Strike cuttings, and pot off rooted suckers.
Heaths.--Any requiring repotting, should receive that attention without
delay, apportioning the size of the pot to the vigour of their growth;
as the free-growing kinds will require more room than the less vigorous
ones.
New Holland Plants.--As many of them are now either in flower, or
approaching that state, they will, consequently, require a larger
quantity of water,--more especially large specimens not shifted since
last season. Continue to pinch off the tops of the leading shoots, to
produce bushy plants.
Pelargoniums.--Attention to be given in tying up, watering, and
fumigating, if the green fly appears.
