Stove Plants. 
Ill the growing season the heat should be kept to 65° and upwards, and the syringe used freely 
at least twice daily. Evaporating troughs should be filled, and air given according to the state of 
the wind and outdoor temperature A rise of temperature from sun heat (not fire heat) up to 90" 
will be more beneficial than otherwise, providing the atmosphere is moist ; dry heat must be avoided. 
Most of the plants in this section require peat soil, or a mixture of peat and loam, with a little old 
manure, sand, and leaf-mould. Liquid manure, or top-dressing with artificial manure, is beneficial to 
all when well established, if free growth and profusion of bloom are desired. 
New Plant Acalypha Glibrani. 
A very beautiful Acalypha, distinct from all others The leaves, 5 to 6 inches in length, of 
somewhat oval form, fairly broad, with a prettily indented margin, are of a beautiful creamy-white, 
relieved with splashes and markings of bright green. The plant is bushy, somewhat pyramidal in habit! 
a good grower and retains its remarkable colouration throughout the whole year. As an exhibition 
and decorative subject, it is certain to take a high position, being quite distinct from any other 
existing plant.
