 situations in their indigenous state; and an aspect, 

 where they would have the full influence of the sun,

 plants may be taken out of the green house, and those 

 that are left will be more benefited by a freer circula- 

 tion of air, which will enure them to exposure. The 

 Geraniums ought to stand perfectly clear of other plants, 

 while in flower and growing, or they will be much drawn 

 and spindly.
