HINTS ON THE MANAGEMENT OF A FEW ORNAMENTAL 
PLANTS. 
Rapid as the advance of late years lias been in the knowledge and appreciation 
of scientific principles in the culture of flowers, there is still a seeming reluctance, 
in a great many instances, to enforce their application. And perhaps this is in a 
great measure attributable to the comprehensive nature of the considerations that 
are involved in the application of theoretical systems to attain practical ends with 
any degree of certainty and benefit. Ignorance of the nature of particular species 
or classes of plants, and of the varying character of the conditions in which they 
are respectively met with in a wild state, present a formidable barrier to those who 
have had little practical experience or opportunity for observation. All first 
principles are necessarily too general, and the peculiarities of plants too diversified
