GUIDE TO THE CONSERVATORY. 



It requires to be placed near the glass, but so that 

 the frost may not reach it during winter. 



Soil. — Sandy turfy peat : if the peat be void of 

 sand add a little cally sand to it. Let the drainage 

 be perfect, otherwise the plant will suffer much, and 

 perhaps die for want of this attention. 



Water. — Do not saturate it, but keep the earth in 



the pot from being dried through in the summer.

ACACIA KERMISINA. 

 Class, Polygamia. Order, Monoecia. 



Leguminosje. 

 Propagation, seeds, cuttings. 

 This interesting new species cannot fail to please. 

 It is in appearance like julibrisia, but the flowers are 

 produced more profusely, and are of a fine scarlet 

 colour, consequently make a very showy display. 

 The border of a conservatory seems to be the most 

 suitable situation for this noble and graceful plant. 

 Soil. — Equal parts of rich light loam and peat.
