Remove Balsams, and other tender annuals into the greenhouse as they comeinto flower, also some plants which may be in flower from the stove. Many of the stove and greenhouse plants will require re-potting. This shouldbe done when they are rather dry, for if the bulbs are wet the soil is apt after-wards to get sour. Take up hardy bulbs as their leaves decay. Attend to the watering of Alpine plants overhead two or three times a dayin dry weather, so that they may frequently have their leaves wetted : and letthe rose on the watering-pot be very fine.

Put in Pansy cuttings occasionally, and cut in those exhausted by flowering.
