open ground, they should be potted in small pots, or planted in boxes in any good, rich 
soil ; and shade for a few days, if exposed to the sun ; water sparingly until they begin to 
grow freely ; keep the room or greenhouse in which they are placed as near as possible 
between fifty and sixty degrees ; if to be kept in a parlor or sitting room, place as near 
the light as possible.
