Layers of hardy Ericas, that are rooted, should now be taken off and trans-planted. Attentively examine the capsules of Balsams for seed ; as the capsules burstand disperse them as soon as they are ripe. Pink Pipings should now be transplanted into store beds, or flowering beds,according to the strength of the plants. Dahlias will require much care this month in staking and tying up. Theflowers should also be shaded from the sun when fine flowers are wanted. Layers of Carnations, Picotees, Jand Cloves, should now be taken off andplanted into pots. Sow Californian and other annuals, that are hardy enough to endure ourwinter, for early planting next season ; also collect seeds of annuals and otherplants as they ripen. Put in cuttings of such Ericas and Epacrises as are most difficult to root,choosing cuttings of fine wood, and they will be rooted by next spring.
