Cleanliness is indispensably necessary to the health of plants, consequently 

 plants in gardens situated iu cities and towns, or near public roads or streets, 

 will require much attention in watering; for dust and soot falling upon tl)€ 

 plants, closes up the pores, and thus prevents them perspiring by day, or inha- 

 ling fresh juices by night. To prevent this, the plants should frequently be 

 watered over the tops by means of a watering pot, syringe, or garden engine. 

 At the spring of the year, apply it early iu the morning; but when sharp 

 frosts are over, do it in the evening. Whenever a plant requires water at its 

 roots, it is advisable to pour it over the foliage, and thus effect a double 

 benefit The soil of the border should frequently be stirred by hoeiug ; thus 

 admitting a free passage for air, water, &c. to the roots. The above attentiou 

 given to flowering plants, shrubs, &c. will be found successful. Most of the 

 plants in the above list may be procured in large quantities at the principal 

 Nursery establishments in the kingdom.
