rich soil and plenty of water, and kept in a close pit or frame. 
A few may be planted im the open air in a sheltered place ; but 
they are liable to suffer from too free an exposure to the winds 
and rain of this climate. Our plants have not perfected their 
seeds ; and we fear that young plants from cuttings will be diffi- 
cult to keep alive through the winter. J. 8.
