 providing that they are close to the window. A suc- 

 cession of these, as before observed, may beautify the 

 drawing room from February to April, by having a re- 

 served stock, in a cold situation, and taking a few of 

 them every week into the warmest apartment.

 terior of the room, remove them close to the light, ob- 

 serving to turn the pots or glasses frequently to prevent 

 them from growing to one side, and giving them sup-

 pendant. The saucers under the Hyacinth and Nar- 

 cissus especially may stand with water, and observe to 

 change the water in the glasses, as already mention-

 floral undertakings, will delight in seeing the plants in 

 perfection ; to have them so, they must be divested of
