MISCELLANE

Royal Botanic Garden, Glasnevin.—There is now in
flower here, for tl:e first time in Europe, the rare and
beautiful Wallich Lilly (L. Wallichianum) received by
Mr. Moore from Major Madden, an invaluable Indian
correspondent of the Garden. It is in the way of longi-
forum and eximium, but has very narrow leaves.

OPERATIONS V

THE WEEK

Plant Department.—Chrysanthemums intended for
exhibition will require every attention ; should they be
disposed to throw up suckers, remove a portion of soil,
and break them off. The stakes had better be placed,
and a tie or two given to the plants, so that each shoot
may be placed near the position it is intended to occupy.
Weak shoots, which cannot be expected to produce a full-
sized flower, had better be cut away. Secure the pots
against the wind ; let no damage happen to the plant by
their being blown about. The exposure ought to be full
and free. Pelargoniums :We could wish, in cases like
this, to see the amateur trust more to his own judgment,
and less to printed directions. The plants cut a month
ago will, by this time, have grown half an inch ; it is,
then, a good time to repot. If the plant be old, in a ten-
inch pot crammed full of roots, shako the soil clean away
from them •, with the knife, shorten in the roots consi-
derably, till, with ease, a six-inch pot will contain them.
But the plant may have been a cutting last summer, has
been growing out of doors all the time, and made stiff,
short-jointed wood; it requires a shift into a blooming
pot. Turn the ball carefully out of the pot, loosen it
thoroughly, but injure not a root. Betwixt these
two points mediums will be found in all stages, for
which we again desire the amateur to have recourse
to his own judgment; failure with a plant of such an
accommodating nature is next to an impossibility.
Pipings of pinks, or cuttings of pansies, which may have
struck root ; should be planted at once into the beds, for
blossoming. A light soil, well manured with cow dung,
answers well for the pink. We have grown them very
large and luxuriant upon such a compost, and can with
confidence recommend it. For the pansy a light rich
friable soil is preferable to anything else. Bulbs ought to
be examined ; tulips properly earthed and made ready for
planting; hyacinths, such of last year's bulbs as are sound
and good and able to bear pot culture for another year,
pot immediately, by giving them a good deep pot, rich
soil, and very slow excitement ; they will at least equal in
strength such as are bought out of the seed shops at a late
period of the season. We know not whether the dealers
are yet in possession of their present year's purchases or
not, but of this we are sure, that the sooner our ainateur
friends are in possession of their intended.stock the greater
their hope of success.

'Kitchen Garden.—The haulm of peas and beans ought
to be removed as the crops are gathered and the ground
wrought over; let neatness appear rather conspicuously.
Many of the crops have a dead appearance, the walks and
edgings kept tidy will serve to keep up the enjoyment a
little longer.

Fruit Department. —With us the principal season for
pruning fruit trees is September, or soon after thP, fruit
is gathered, but in the case of trees not bearing. a full
crop this is no object. We also practice a tcomplete
system of disbudding in the spring. Our luxur',ant trees
we root-prune in October ; of course, we lop off a mis-
placed shoot in all seasons, neither would rve allow the
its
fruit; wood of an old tree to remain to the, injury of
but with a proper system of-disbud%iing and root-
pruning. this summer pruning is much
'..educed. Other
systeins4here are which we cannot appr oye of. Summer.
