SEPTEMBER.

Prick out the cuttings of hardy shrubs that have been made before, or

during the rains, in beds for growing. Prune all flowering shrubs,

having due regard to the character of each, as bearing flowers on the

end of the shoots, or from the side exits, give the annual dressing of

manure to the entire shrubbery, with new upper soil.

Remove the top soil from the borders, and renew with addition of a

moderate quantity of manure. Put out Geraniums into the borders, and set

rooted cuttings singly in pots. Plant out biennials in the borders, also

such annuals as have been sown in pots. Re-pot and give fresh earth to

plants in the shed.
