more liberally ; but it is safer to err on the right side, 
and not water too freely at this time, when there is 
not much sun. Some plants may be shifted and re- 
potted, and such as are required for early flowering 
may be introduced. The temperature should be kept 
on the rise from 60° to 70°. 
THE CAMELLIA Hovuse.—The early sorts will now 
be in flower, and coming into flower. Keep the tem- 
perature a few degrees elevated, say at 50° or under, 
and never much above that—just enough to drive off 
damp, so that the opening flowers may be kept clear of 
any damage from condensed moisture, and to ensure a 
free circulation of pure air; but in no case allow the 
fire heat to exceed 55°: air must be admitted as soon 
as the thermometer indicates any rise above that. 
The plants in tubs and pots may have a little stimulant 
given them, but not much; half an ounce of guano to 
one gallon of water will help them to produce fine 
flowers. The buds on those plants possessing too many 
of them should be thinned out at once. 
THE RosE Housr.—The Roses will be breaking into 
bud, and will require frequent syringing; fumigating 
will also be necessary, for the aphides will soon appear. 
By the middle of the month, more plants may be 
introduced for succession. Cut back those introduced 
as soon as they are in the house; give some liquid 
manure to such as are showing flower, and keep up a 
heat of 70° or 75°, allowing a fall of 15° or 20° by night. 
Give no air for the present. 
THE LiLy-oF-THE-VaLLey Pit.—Keep up a nice 
mild heat, give air on sunny days, and plenty of 
water, especially to the Christmas Roses coming into 
flower, and also to the advancing Lily buds.
