happens that it is possible to play an engine over the plants in a balcony 
garden,—it may be that windows on one side, and pedestrians on the other, 
are to.be considered as rendering the practice inadvisable. Well, every case 
must be determined on its merits. Something may be done, perhaps, by 
means of a hand syringe, and if only a slight dewing by means of a fine 
shower can be given daily, the results will repay the trouble a hundredfold. 
In very hot weather, water should be given twice a day, if possible. If that is 
not possible, once a day must suffice, and will be more beneficial in the 
evening than in the morning. To give water while the sun shines fiercely 
will be to risk the safety of the whole affair.
