1479. Calceolarias of the herbaceous kinds are well worth cultivating, aucT 

 where grown in a small way, had best be sown in July, covering the seed-pots 

 or pans with a piece of glass, and placing them in the shade. A few bulbous- 

 rooted plants would be found very useful.— Lilium album, punctatum, and 

 rubrum; Oxalis tubiflora variabilis, Rosea-flava, Ixia aurantica, Lachenalia» 

 tricolor, Cyclamen coum, Persicum, Europaeum, are all very attractive in their 

 season, giving them a season of dry rest soon after the bloom is over.

Maurandia Barclayana might be trained up the back or pillars. It is neces- 

 sary to make a proper bed or border of earth for them to grow in. 



1483. Plant-culture is not the only pui-pose to which a small greenhousa 

 may be put : the practice is not uncommon to gi-ow fruit in them. For this 

 purpose, small fruit-trees are grown in pots : the roots being confined, they 

 are not liable to run to wood ; but keeiD within certain bounds for the more, 

 certain production of flowers and fruit. Any one who can cultivate flowering- 

 plants may grow fruit-trees in pots ; the only points being to keep them well 

 supplied with water while in a growing state, and ripen off the wood well iu 

 the autumn. A long list of fruit-trees suitable for the purpose might bo 

 named j but the following may serve as a guide. They are usually worked oa 

 quince or paradise stocks, which, in a great measure, serves to keep thciu 

 within proper limits as to size : —
