such as 2 soil composed of equal 
parts of black loam and leaf-mould 
with the addition of alittle lake 
sand. They should mot be over- 
watered. When the soil on top be- 
gins to appear dry the ball of earth 
should be thoroughly soaked, placing 
the pot for a few minutes in 2 basin 
of water, if mecessary, to emsure a 
thorough wetting, at the reots 
where the moisture is most needed. 
The method may im general be ap- 
plied to all plants. We strongly de- 
ery the plan of leaving a little water 
in the jardiniere, as it is supremely 
injurious to most plants.

PANDANUS~ UDTILIS. 
CYPERUS ALTERNIFOLIUS. 
(Umbrella Plant.) 
For house culture we really cannot 
recommend this plant too highly. It is 
so easily managed. All it is. particular 
about is plenty of water. To have it 
in perfection, set the pot in a saucer or 
better still, in a jardiniere kept. filled 
with water. It is particularly adaptable 
for use in aquaria, where it gives entire 
satisfaction., Any temperature usual in 
a house suits it. When age begins to 
turn the leaves yellow, these should .be 
cut off close down to the pot, and very 
soon new leaves will spring up, and 
the plant will renew its beauty.
