HORTICULTURE.

STOVE, CONSERVATORY, AND GREENHOUSE.—During
the last three or four days the temperature of the atmos-
phere has been more spring-like, and its effects have been
very visible on the plants under glass roofs. A free and
regular supply of water is consequently demanded ; and,
in the case of newly-potted plants, occasional water-
ing with liquid manure is essential, and no favourable
occasion must be lost for admitting a plentiful supply of
air. Those who admire that most beautiful of autumn
plants, the Chrysanthemum, should commence striking
cuttings, in order to have strong plants by the flowering
season. If this is done early, the cuttings, as soon as
they begin growing, may be shortened in, which will
make short bushy plants—a point most particularly de-
sirable with the Chrysanthemum.
KITCHEN GARDEN.—Nothing now remains to be done
except the keeping up of successional crops.
