NOV.] AND CONSERVATORY^ 609 



Of blowing Bulbous-rooted Fkmers in Water, 

 Some choice Hyacinths, Jonquils, Polyanthus and 

 Italian Narcissuses, small early Tulips, &c. may 

 now be put into glasses, and may be placed eitlier 

 in the Green-house, the Conservatory, or in a Stove, 

 in order to bring them forward for the green-house, 

 or for the drawing-room, as shall be determined on. 

 They may be taken in, in different successions, as 

 noticed of those planted in pots for this purpose last 

 month. The glasses should be filled with soft wa- 

 ter ; and after the roots begin to spring, the water 

 should be changed once in five or six days, or at 

 least so often as to prevent the points of the fibres 

 from knotting or becoming foul, which, if they do, 

 they immediately sit up, and the growth of the 

 whole plant will be very much retarded. 



THE CONSERVATORY. 



Of the Temperature J and the Admission of Air, 

 These two particulars are to be regulated by the 

 observations made above, respecting the green- 

 house ; from which there should be no deviation in 

 this, or in the following month. 



OJ Waterings S^-c. 



The borders should now be kept rather in a dry 



state than otherwise, and a small quantity of water 



once in ten or twelve days will suffice. Every mean 



should be used to expel damp, as observed above of
