syringed over the tops, which will cause the 

 atmosphere to be very moist ; in this state the 

 plants will thrive surprisingly. Fruiting 

 plants must not he grown in an over-moist 

 atmosphere, but should have, when such can 

 he given, a freer circulation of air, or the 

 fruit will be of an inferior flavour. The tem ; 

 perature in winter should be 70 or 75 degrees, 

 in summer 80 or &5 degrees, and when closed 

 in the afternoon 100 or 110 degrees. The best 

 plants are obtained from suckers, but new or 

 very rare sorts are also obtained from the 

 crown of the fruit. After the fruit is cut, the 

 stools should still continue in a good bottom- 

 heat, and strong suckers equal to year-old 

 plants may be soon taken off. Synonymes : 1,
