GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. 
Any herbaceous plants in the collection ought to be set 
aside, and the water in part withheld. When the stems and 
foliage are decayed, the plants may be put in a cool cellar, 
where they will not be in danger of frost, and be permitted 
to remain there until they begin to grow ; then bring them 
to the light, and treat as directed for these kinds of plants. 
Deciduous plants may be treated in a similar mariner. 
NOVEMBER. 
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. 
The remarks and instructions that are given last month 
for these apartments will equally answer here. Where the 
Dutch bulbs were omitted to be placed in glasses, they ought 
not to be longer delayed. 
Oxalis. — The autumn-flowering species will now be in 
bloom, and must be kept in the sun to make them expand 
freely. The neglect of this is the principal reason that these 
do not flower perfectly in rooms. 
('a me!! ins. — These plants, where there is a collection, 
flower from this period till April ; and the general desire to 
be fully acquainted with the method of their culture has 
induced us to be liberal in our observations on every point 
and period through the various stages of their growth and 
flowering. We will here only remind the inquirer that a 
pure air and plenty of water, giving the plants frequent 
sprinklings, are the present necessities, which only are con- 
ducive to their perfection. 
Attend to the turning of Geraniums and other rapidly 
growing plants, that all sides of them may have an equal 
share of light.
