specified are peculiarly adapted for rooms, and we 

 would call attention to the genus Cyclamen, which 

 has not been generally introduced into the collections 

 of our ladies ; as, from the character and beauty of the 

 flowers, they are very attracting and highly deserving of 

 culture. Attend to the Geraniums as there directed, 

 and be particular in having them cut down, and repot- 

 ted, as there fully described. The Oranges, Lemons, 

 Oleanders, and Myrtles, that are kept in cellars or rooms, 

 should have the same attention in this month as directed 

 in the Green-house, which to repeat here would be oc- 

 cupying space unnecessarily. 



Reseda odorata, or Mignonette, is one of the most fra- 

 grant annuals. To have it in perfection, the seed should 

 be sown about the end of this month,or beginning of next, 

 into pots of fine light earth, and sprinkled with water 

 frequently. When it comes up the plants must be thin- 

 ned out or transplanted ; the former method is prefer- 

 able. Keep them from frost during winter, and always 

 near the light. 



This will equally apply to the Green-house.
