GREEN-HOUSK AND CONSERVATORY.

VENTILATION. 



Air should be now abundantly admitted during the whole

 in the borders of the conservatory will now be growing ra- 

 pidly, and will require frequent supplies of water, both at their 

 roots and also over their tops, which should be applied with 

 \he syringe or garden engine.

Towards the end of this month, but not sooner, and then
