Ordinary Atlemhmcv.—'l'he principal flower-borders, beds, &c., must now have more than ordinary attention paid to the keeping of them clean, as well as the shrubbery-clnmps and other similar compartmcnts. Where any of the ﬂowering shrubs or evergreens have grown rude or (1i_lrt1(’l'ly, let such be trimmed or pruned into neat form; that is, if any have produced strong and rambling shoots. cut out, shorten, or reduce them to a pleasing regularity. Stake and tie up the stems of such ﬂowering plants as stand in need ot'support, to prevent their being borne down by winds or heavy rains. ézc. Cut down the sterile of such ﬁbrous-rooted plants as are past bloom. except a few of the best, where the seeds are wanted. Those have always an unplcasing appearance, and ought to be removed as soon as 1iiossible; by which means the plants, though past flowering, will appear more lively

and decent, and the advancing bloom of others will show to greater advantage. Hedges in general, of every kind, should be clipped in the early part of this month; for that purpose, advantage ought to be taken of moist or cloudy weather to do the work in, as hedges always look better after being clipped in wet weather than in dry. Another dressing of the same kind toward the latter end of September will keep them in a neat condition the year round. The various kinds of green-house plants which you may wish to increase, may still be propagated by suckers, layers or cuttings. Most kinds will succeed by cuttings of the pre sent year’s wood if carefully planted, properly shaded and moderately watered. Tin-y will now take root easily, if in suitable earth. without the assistance of a hot bed. The out tings should be taken from healthy plants; should be from four to eight inches in length, and of a stout. robust growth.

The leaves should be stripped off more than halfway up, and the cuttings planted about two-thirds of their length in pots or beds of earth. adopting for each kind its favorite soil; then give them shade and water, as directed on former 0003? sions. Such plants as require larger pots or tubs may now be shifted; this is the best of the summer months for that pur pose, as the greater number will have made their summer progress, and are now rather at a stand previous to the com mencement of their new autumnal vegetation.

Such plants as are now shifted must be immediately watered and removed into the shade, where they can have free air and protection from the sun in the heat of the day; there to remain for two, three, 0r four weeks, according to the time the respective kinds may take to reestablish them selves, and get into a fresh state of growth, when they may be replaced among the general collection.
