Vines.—In the houses where Grapes are ripening, the temperature may be allowed to rise to 90°, with sun heat, and to decline to 60° at night. In the succession-houses thin the bunches, and do not be covetous to over-crop the Vines, as it is the cause of many bad effects. Stop laterals, and use the syringe freely in the afternoons.
JUNE.
FIRST WEEK.
GREENHOUSE AND CONSERVATORY.
Azalea Indica.—Encourage free growth, as soon as possible after they have done blooming, by placing them in heat, supplying an abundance of water, and syringing freely.
Calceolarias.—Water carefully; cut down when out of bloom, and remove them to a cold frame.
Heaths and New Holland Plants.—The young stock will now succeed best in a pit, or frame, placing the lights to the north. The glass to be well washed, and the pots to be placed on tiles, or ashes, above the ground level.
Pelargoniums.—Give air freely, avoid cold draughts, and shade from scorching sun. Shift and stop the succession stock for late flowering.
Petunias.—Do not neglect to pot off from the store propagating pots some of those, as advised last week, as also Scarlet Geraniums, Verbenas, Heliotropes, &c., to afford a variety of sorts and colours for the conservatory.
