HOW TO MANAGE PLANTS, ROOTED GUTTINGS, AND 
SEEDLINGS SENT BY POST. 
^/j® HEKE persons have the convenience and siilUcieut experience for nursing small plants, and enjoy seeing them 
grow, we strongly rsconimeud their having them sent by post, as every core is taken to grow them iu such a 
• d)®'' tempeiature, &c., that there is no risk about their doing well with a small amount of ordinary core, if the 
apjieuded instructions are carefully followed. 
1 1 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 be forgotten, and get with others of bud character, it is surprising how quickly they 
will partake of the same appearance and disease, and wilt soon die in sorrow and disgrace. A sweet-smelling hot-bed rather 
on the decline is preferable, with the heat at about sixty-live degrees. When you receive a box of rooted cuttings or 
jdaiits, immerse them in water at the same temperature from two to four hours. t\'hen they are all refreshed, proceed 
to pot them into small pots, using nice, waini, sandy soil. See that the roots are separated and spread natui-ally out in 
the .soil without injuring them, pressing the soil firmly, riuce them in the frame, keej) them shut close for a few days, 
be careful of damp, and admit air as they get established. !.■ t them bo slightly dried each day, but do not allow them 
to flag from tor much air or sun. And if a person posiesses 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.
