every one or two days. Towards the end of June the plants will 

 have attained nearly their full growth, when they may be placed out 

 in the open air, where they are fully seen, when the weather is fine 

 and settled, each of them being supported by a proper stick. In 

 their after culture, they require to be kept constantly in the pots, and 

 to have water freely applied almost every day when the season is 

 hot. 



All the other species are raised with much less trouble, but simi- 

 lar to those already described. They are of the most highly orna- 

 mental kind, although attended with some trouble in their culture, 

 yet they well repay for the labor. They should have rather open 

 exposures, and be distributed towards the fronts, especially those of 

 the low growing kinds.
