NOV. 3 AND CONSERVATORY. 609 



Of blowing Bulbous-rooted Flowers in Water. 

 Some choice Hyacinths, Jonquils, Polyanthus and 

 Italian Narcissuses, small early Tulips, &c. may 

 now be put into glasses, and may be placed either 

 in the Green-house, the Conservatory, or in a Stove, 

 in order to bring them forward for the green-house, 

 or for the drawing-room, as shall be determined on. 

 They may be taken in, in different successions, as 

 noticed of those planted in pots for this purpose last 

 month. The glasses should be filled with soft wa- 

 ter ; and after the roots begin to spring, the water 

 should be changed once in five or six days, or at 

 least so often as to prevent the points of the fibres 

 from knotting or becoming foul, which if they do, 

 they immediately sit up, and the growth of the 

 whole plant will be very much retarded.

Of Watering, 8$c. 



The borders should now be kept rather in a dry 

 state than otherwise, and a small quantity of water 

 once in ten or twelve days will suffice. Every mean 

 should be used to expel damp, as observed above of
