FLOWER-HOUSE. 



Heat. — Keep the thermometer about 65° during 

 the evening, and on cold windy days. 



Air. — Admit freely on fine days, giving it early 

 in the morning, and closing the house early in the 

 evening. 



Water freely all plants which are in a vigor- 

 ous growing state, using dung water occasionally 

 to such as require this stimulant, as cannas, 

 hedychium, Thunbergias, cactus, musa, strelitzias, 

 alpinias, vincas, &c, &c. 



Continue to syringe every morning and evening, 

 and to pour water on the flues the first thing in the 

 morning and the last in the evening. 



Introduce such bulbs and shrubs as are required 

 for succession, and now bring in the hydrangea, if 

 it is intended for blooming in May. 



I have not thought it necessary to give a repe- 

 tition of the bulbs and shrubs, because all that will 

 force into flower in the two preceding months will 

 do so in this and the succeeding ones until they 

 blossom in the open air.
