All of these will do perfectly well in a green-house. Those marked * do host kepi a little 

 wanner than the others. They are all of the oa-ie-t possible culture, and come into flower 

 between the period- named — different modes and eireum-daiices making a slight dift'erence. 



Having procured these plants early in the spring, we next proceed to their culture for our 

 proposed object. The tuberous-rooted section, comprising TropaoUunt and Cyclament, will 



be nearly or quil it of flower: they will require but an occasional Bupply of water, Bay 



e or twice -i week, till the leave- are decayed, when the pots containing the plants should 



ihelf, where they can DC kept nearly dry till the end of Angii-t, when they may 



■ ikon out and replaced with fresh sandy loam In the same pots as before, watered sparingly 



until they have all abundance of foliage, then to receive an abundant Supply. Another r 1 



leada, C\ I t, Daphne, Correa, and Polygala, — if the pot- are full of 



they often are ,,n being received from a DUrsery, — should be shifted into pot- a m/.c 



larger, In s soil consisting for the most pari of turfy loam, with a small quantity of turfy

 they can be protected from the sun

previously been deep dug and lightly manured, till the end of August, when all but Spircca,
