tilation. We also let the sun shine freely on 
the plants, except when it ig too hot, in the middle of the day. Air and sun 
are indispensable, in order to harden and ripen the growths, and the more they 
profit generally by these two elements the more abundant and beautiful will be 
their flowering. Air should be given up to the end of October, and during part 
of November whenever the season is favourable. 
- During the winter the plants are kept in a state of repose, and the waterings 
should be light, once or twice a week, to prevent them shrivelling. The house 
should be kept very clear during this season, and we advise that the glass should 
not be covered with mats, as is so often done, to keep out the cold. As much 
heat should be given as necessary, but let them always have the light of day, 
which is indispensable.
