glazed doors also dividing it from the room ; 

 and looking if possible full to the south or 

 south-east. In cold weather with the glass 

 doors open, and window shutters to help at 

 night, and the sun to help by day, your 

 greenhouse will keep warm with little 

 trouble. And as the sun gains power, 

 closed doors or an open window will do all 

 the regulating. And your sitting room will 

 be pretty as it never was before. Neither 

 would the cost be so very much. Why a 

 single *' switch " (of the right colour) would 

 do the work ! 



Meanwhile, pending all this, give your 

 plants clean faces whenever your can. If 

 there is a shower bath in the house, set it 

 running — not quite full on — and pass your 

 plants rapidly through the fall, one by one. 

 If not, draw a cloth or paper tight round 

 and over the top of the pot, to keep the 

 eartli in, and dip each plant head first in a 

 basin of clean fresh water. You can hard- 

 ly think how either process will revive 

 them.
