do this on fine mornings ; attend to watering plants 

 in pots and tubs, and also the borders, when they 

 require it. 



GREENHOUSE. 



Air. — Give as much as you possibly can both 

 day and night. 



Water. — Attend to this every day; syringe oc- 

 casionally on fine mornings. Sow seeds of such 

 annuals as you wish to flower in the spring. The 

 plants which are in the open air will require regular 

 attention ; some it will be necessary to shift, others 

 to repot ; but as ample directions are given on this 

 head for each genus treated of in this work, it is 

 unnecessary to repeat them. 



FLOWER-HOUSE. 



Heat. — Should the latter end of the month be 

 very cold, put on a little fire every evening. 



Air. — Admit it freely every day. 



Water. — Syringe once or twice a day. Give 

 such plants as are growing fast a good supply of 

 water, but delicate ones require to be kept mode- 

 rately dry, otherwise they are very apt to die from 

 too much moisture.
