==Cineraria.==—­To insure a succession, and where a sufficient stock is not already provided, another sowing should be made, following the method advised last month.  The seedlings, when transferred to small pots, should be put into a close frame, and be sprinkled with water morning and evening until the roots take hold.  At first it is desirable to keep them fairly warm, but in a fortnight the heat may be gradually reduced and more air be given until cool treatment is reached.  The plants will need potting on up to November, when they should go into the final size; and, except for special purposes, 6-1/4-or 7-1/2-inch pots are large enough.  Cinerarias are sought after by every pest which infests the greenhouse.  We need only say that by fumigation, sulphur, or by syringing with a suitable insecticide, the plants must be kept clean, or they cannot be healthy.

==Daisy, Double.==—­The finest blooms are obtained from seedlings raised annually, and the general practice is to sow in the open ground during this month or July.  When large enough transplant to good ground for blooming in the following season.  The new Giant forms of the Double Daisy are of superb size, closely resembling finely shaped Asters in form.

==Dianthus.==—­For a display next summer, sow in drills drawn six inches apart in an open situation, and cover the seed lightly with fine soil.  Shade the spot until the plants show.

==Geranium.==—­Sometimes a difficulty is experienced in bringing Geranium seedlings into flower.  They possess so much initial vigour that the production of wood continues to the very end of the season.  Plants which show signs of excessive growth should be put into the border without removing the pots.  This check to the roots will throw the plants into luxuriant bloom.

==Gladioli== are very liable to injury by high wind, and stakes should be put to them in good time.  Each plant may have a separate support, and this is the most perfect treatment; or the stakes may be at intervals, or at the ends of rows, connected by lengths of strong, soft material, to which intervening stems can be secured.  The work should be done carefully, and if the flowers are intended for exhibition they must also be shaded by some means.  This may be a cheap or a costly proceeding; but in whatever manner it is carried out, security is essential, or the whole bed may be ruined.

==Hollyhock.==—­A sowing in the open ground will produce plants for wintering in the cold frame; and if generously treated, they will make a fine show in the following year.

==Myosotis.==—­During this month sow Sutton’s Pot Myosotis and bring forward in a cold frame for winter decoration, for which purpose this plant is rapidly increasing in favour.  Seed of the hardy varieties may also be sown now or in July, choosing a shady spot in the open ground.  Transplant when large enough.

==Nicotiana.==—­To expose Tobacco plants before warm weather is established will give them a check from which they may not recover until the summer is half over, if they recover at all.  Spare frames with movable lights will prepare them admirably and save labour.  The second week of this month is generally warm enough for the planting.  The seedlings must have a very rich soil, and abundance of water in dry weather.  A heavy mulch of decayed manure will supply them with food and check evaporation.
