GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR

THE WEEK.

(From the Gardeners' Gazette.)
*.* Is there anything unreasonable in our request, that
the Editors who copy us, should state their authority ?
[Certainly not. We always feel great pleasure in doing
so, for the information is very excellent.—ED. Sun.]
AMERICAN PLANTS must be continually watered, until they
have made their growth and set their bloom.
CARNATIONS and PICCOTEES should have their bloom bud
carefully tied about the middle as soon as they are nearly full
grown, and the top half torn down, so as to free the petals all
around alike.
Take up TULIPS, and for the first few days let the boxes be
open and the bulbs be shaded. They must be perfectly dried
before being put away.
Propagate HEARTSEASE as before. If you desire to keep
the plants in bloom, take the long shoots only, leaving the
young ones to bloom. If the plants are to be multiplied as
much as possible, they may be taken up, washed, and every
piece made into a plant, many being torn off with the roots
attached.
Carefully examine and constantly water such as require it
of all Greenhouse Plants out of dcors ; Heaths, Epacris, and
many other hard-wooded plants, will suffer from 24 hours
neglect.
Stick PEAS of the tall kinds ; tic up LETTUCES for blanch-
ing ; earth up Celery on dry days; plant out Cabbage of all
kinds, Lettuce, &c., after wet ones.
Dig up the beds from which Tulips are removed in the open,
ground, and plant out Annuals, Dahlias, or Geraniums, to fill
the places, if in the ornamental part of a garden ; if t.thcr'
wise, it matters not what follows.
