Bpit from good pasture land, thoroughly 

 incorporated and' spread on to the depth

 "When this is partly exhausted apply liq- 

 uid food once a week. Be careful of 

 chemical fertilizers until the stock be- 



comes strong. Your temperature, if the 

 stock is composed of Bride and Maid, 

 would be more suitable if reduced to 56 

 degrees at night, allowing it to run up 

 to 76 degrees during sunshine.

Frequent inquiry as to the correct pro- 

 nunciation of plant names has led us 

 to compile the following list of names, 

 selecting those in most common use in 

 the trade, and including botanical terms 

 most frequently met with in articles upon 

 plant culture. 



In our list we have used the following
