1256. From this list varieties may be selected that will furnish plants for the 

 ■whole year. Heaths like plenty of air : it must be given freely, but carefully, 

 as, from exposure to the dry, arid, cutting winds, plants that are growing freelj^ 

 are apt to get a rustiness that will so disfigure them that months will elapse 

 before they are free from it. "With respect to plants growing in the heathery, 

 or other house, during the continuance of cold winds, the doors to the east- 

 ward should be closed, and air admitted sparingly from the front sashes, taking 

 care to let down the top-lights so as to insure a free circulation of air. When 

 the plants are of free growth, and the weather is of a parching character, it 

 will be necessary to look over them every day, and water freely, taking care- 

 that none be allowed to suffer for want of it, which at this stage would prove- 

 destructive to the flowering of the plant, if not its life.
