 gentle waterings every three or four weeks. When all 

 are arranged give them a proper syringing, after which 

 wipe clean all the stages, benches, &c., sweeping out all 

 litter, and wash clean the pavement, which will give to all 

 a neat and becoming appearance.

 and in such quantities as will supply their respective wants,

 Pomegranate, and others equally hardy, that are decidu- 

 ous, may be kept perfectly in a dry, light, airy cellar : give 

 frequent admissions of air, and one or two waterings dur- 

 ing winter.
