The Garden
DECEMBER. (By Mueiiku.) Elower Garden. —See that dahlias and hollyhocks are well secured to stakes, and encourage growth by frequent watering with liquid manure. To grow these plants successfully they require to have a rich, free soil and abundance of moisture, and almost constant attention to tying up and keeping clear of slugs and othei insect pests. Verbenas, petunias, and other trailing plants will require pegging down as growth proceeds ; also stake sweet peas, convolvulus, uastur tiums, &c., to prevent them being blown about by the wind. Young pot-plants now making rapid growth should be encouraged by shifting into larger-sized pots, and when established water once a week with weak liquid manure.
