If the feafon is very cold, keep the windows 

 and doors of the green-houfe clofely fhut^ and 

 in frofty nights the (hutters iliouid be duly 

 faftened to prevent the froft from entering; but 

 in mild weather they (hould be opened every 

 day, to give light to the plants 3 and v/hea 

 there is fun in frofly weather, and the air is 

 warmed, fome of the glaffes (hould be drawn 

 dow^n, to let frefli air into the houfe : but this 

 fhouid be done with caution, for at this time of 

 the year, there is frequently a damp moift air, 

 which if pent up in the houfe will caufe the 

 tender (hoots of the plants to grow mouldy 

 and decay ; therefore whenever any mouldinefs 

 appears upon the plants, it fhouid be immedi- 

 ately cleaned off; otherwife it will fpread, and 

 infedl the neighbouring plants : and diligendy 

 pick off all decayed leaves, never fuffering them 

 to fall upon the floor, or at lead do not let 

 them remain in the houfe, for they will- rot 

 and infed: the air, to the injury of the plants. 



The plants (hould now be watered very fpa- 



ringly, efpecially fuch of them as are of a fuc- 



culcnt nature; as Aloes, Cereufes, Sedums,
