BIRECTIONS FOR THE CARE OF PLANTS ON ARRIVAL. 



Should the weather be favorable for immediate planting (danger of frost being over), and the 

 plants are not injured by long confinement in the box, they may at once be planted out in the 

 flower borders, sprinkling them with water, and shading for a few days from the direct rays 

 of the sun. Should they, however, have suffered, it is desirable to nurse them for a short time 

 in the house, a close frame, or green-house, keeping them away from the air and potting the 

 tender kinds in small pots, in a light, sandy soil ; where pots cannot be obtained, they may be 

 planted in boxes, and exposed gradually to the air and sun.
