On Vines in a. Plant Stove. — A Young Subscriber is desirous to know how 

 he ran grow Vines properly and stove plants in the same house. I am afraid 

 the watering of the plants will be prejudicial to the ripening of the fruit, and to 

 suit the fruit by withholding water from the plants would injure them. How 

 should I treat jRuellia multijhjia, and JJeyonia Jluribunda, to grow and bloom 

 them successfully.
