 ing the foliage by hand if very dirty ; nothing adds more to the attraction of 

 a fine collection then a clear and glossy foliage.

 possible ; a front shelf is the best place ; shift such young plants as need it, 

 and nip off the tops to make them bushy and stocky.

 house,- as they suffer from moisture, and the flowers do not keep half as 

 long.

 should have a shift into larger pots; keep in a rather cool situation, and 

 fumigate as often as the aphis appear, for they soon destroy the plants.

 ure causes them to lose their foliage.
