HOW TO MANAGE PLANTS, ROOTED GUTTINGS, AND 
SEEDLINGS SENT BY POST. 
W HERE persons have the convenience and sufficient experience for nursing small plants, and 
enjoy seeing them grow, we strongly recommend their having them sent by post, as every care 
is taken to grow them in such a temperature, &c., that there is no risk about their doing well with a 
small amount of ordinary care, if the appended instructions are carefully followed. 
It must be remembered that plants arc like young children ; they must be carefully looked after, fed, 
clothed, and trained in the way they should go, and a little common sense exercised to ascertain their 
requirements, and to guard against enemies. And should they bo forgotten, and get with others of 
bad character, it is surprising how quickly they will partake of the same habits and disease, and will 
soon die in sorrow and disgrace. A sweet-smelling hot-bed rather on the decline is preferable, with 
the heat at about 65 degrees. When you receive a box of rooted cuttings or plants, immerse them in 
water at the same temperature from one to two hours. When they are all refreshed, proceed to pot 
them into .small pots, using nice, warm, sandy soil. See that the roots are separated and spread 
naturally out in the soil without injuring them, pressing the soil firmly. Place them in the frame, 
keep them shut close for a few daj's, be careful of damp, and admit air as they get established. Let 
them be slightly dried each day, hut do not allow them to flag from too much air or sun. And if a 
person possesses a stove, or even a warm greenhouse, there is no more difficulty in getting them to 
grow under an air-tight hand-glass or wooden box- with the top covered with glass, than those of 
their own striking or raising.
