Of the Admission of Air, 8$c. 

 The quantity of air hitherto admitted must be 

 considerably lessened, and some regard must now be 

 had to the state of the thermometer. In good wea- 

 ther, the sashes may be opened about eight in the 

 morning, and full air may be given about ten ; re* 

 ducing it again about two or three, and shutting up 

 about five o'clock. In sunshine, admit air so freely 

 as to keep the mercury down to about 65, and at 

 other times to 55 ; which is a sufficient tempera- 

 ment for the plants at this season. If the house be 

 kept too hot, the plants are apt to take on too free a 

 growth, after being brought in ; which is not to be 

 wished for ; as in that case they would be less 

 hardy, and less fit tp endure the winter. The late- 

 made shoots would be feeble, they would become 

 languid, an$ might go off by damp, 



Of Watering, $c. 



Moderate quantities of water will now be suffi- 

 cient for the plants in general, once in three or four 

 days ; though individuals may require to be water* 

 ed oftener, and more plentifully. The succulent 

 kinds will not require to have water given them 

 oftener than once in eight or ten days, nor even 

 then, in large portions ; the humidity of the air be- 

 ing nearly equal to their wants. But the frequency 

 of watering, and the quantity to be given to these, 

 or to the other kinds, must be regulated much by
