CONSERVATORY. 



Continue fire-heat during the evening, though 

 there be no frost, otherwise the plants removed 

 from the flower-house will suffer. Admit air freely 

 on fine days. 



Water will be more in demand than last month. 

 Look carefully over the plants every other day, 

 and give a good watering. 



Syringe as often as you can when the mornings 

 are fine, taking care that no wet falls on the blos- 

 soms, as it causes early decay. Remove all plants 

 in pots as soon as they have done flowering, and 

 replace them with fresh ones. 



It is advisable, about once a month, to vary 

 the effect of the conservatory by removing the 

 plants, and arranging them in a situation different 

 from that they before presented ; the well known 

 truth that variety is pleasing, being as applicable 

 in this arrangement of the conservatory as in any 

 other case. Such a disposition of the plants may 

 be made by placing, at one time, all those of one 

 colour in one group, and at another time, so 

 placing them as to form a mixed group.
