Sweet peas, mignonette, and all hardy sorts of annuals may be sown outdoors. Plant fuchsias, carnations, pinks, chrysanthemums and other, varieties of ornamental, herbaceous, flowering plants. Greenhouse plants re-potted last month will require abundance of air every fine day, so as to secure a healthy and vigorous growth. Vineries which were closed in last month will require frequent daily syringings with tepid water, in which the vine delights to luxuriate, Prick out and harden off tomatoes, cucumber, and melon plants if ready.
