A LIST OP FIFTY BEST PINKS. 



I would advise keeping it in a heat of about 55 to 56 degrees, which 

 is quite warm enough. The plant should stand in a window where 

 it can get plenty of air. If your correspondent has not any greenhouse 

 or stove, it is very injurious to plunge it in as a shrub in a conserva- 

 tory or in any ground, as it keeps it too wet. 



Care should be taken not to over pot the plant, as it seems to 

 thrive best if rather under potted. If your correspondent follows 

 this treatment it will, I have no doubt, be attended with complete 

 success. With such attention we now have a splendid plant, bloom- 

 ing at every young shoot. If my mite of practical knowledge in 

 floriculture be thought worthy of insertion in your invaluable 

 Cabinet it is at your service.
