IN-DOOR GARDENING FOR THE MANY.


JANUARY.


FIRST WEEK.

GREENHOUSE AND CONSERVATORY.

Cinerarias.--The plants intended for large specimens must receive
their final shift, and be allowed sufficient space to expand their
foliage without interfering with or injuring each other. The
side-shoots to be tied out.

Epacrises.--As some of them will be preparing to burst into flower,
a little arrangement may be necessary in tying them out to display
their spikes of bloom more advantageously.

Fuchsias.--If wanted early, the plants that were first put to rest
should be selected, and be fresh potted, cutting back the roots,
beginning with a small-sized pot; to be shifted into larger when the
roots have extended to the outside of the ball. Place them in a nice
moist temperature of 50° by day and 40° by night.

Heaths.--To be looked over, and the dead and decaying leaves
removed. The most forward in bud--such as the _Vestitas_, _Vernix_,
_Vasciflora_, _Aristata_, _Beaumontia_, and many others, to be tied
out, and arranged for the season.

Pelargoniums.--When large specimens are wanted, tie out the
branches at equal distances, and down as near to the rim of the pot
as possible. Air to be given at all favourable opportunities. Water
to be given but sparingly, and not overhead.
