in a dark part of the house, where other plants will not 

 grow, studying to have the most tender kinds in the warmest 

 part, and giving gentle waterings every three or four weeks. 

 When all are arranged, give them a proper syringing, after 

 which wipe clean all the stages, hencJies, &c., sweeping out 

 all litter, and wash clean the pavement, which will give to 

 all a neat and becoming appearance. 



Let the waterings now be done in the mornings, as often 

 and in such quantities as will supply their respective wants,

 of air must be as free as possible, opening the doors and 

 front and top sashes regularly over the house. But observe 

 in frosty nights to keep all closely shut. Be attentive in 

 clearing off decayed leaves and insects. 



Any plants of Lagcrstrcemia^ Stercidia^ Hydvamjea^ Po-

 winter.

 indica, is an esteemed plant for the delightful odor of its 

 flowers, and valuable for the period of its flowering, being 

 from December to March, according to the situation; leaves 

 scattered, oblong, lanceolate and smooth; flowers small white 

 in many flowered terminal heads ; there is a variety equally

 are red, and the flowers rose white, of a delightful spicy fra- 

 grance. I), hi/hrida is a species in high estimation at pre-
