'THE MANAGEMENT OF PLANTS IN' 
ROOMS AND SMALL CONSERVA¬ 
TORIES. 
different genera of Plants require 
Jsome variation in their treatment as re- 
|f| gards soil, watering, air, and heat. In 
£i Ifc^ilight airy rooms many Plants will thrive 
la long time, and in conservatories attach¬ 
ed to the dwelling where they can receive the sun and 
light, and be ventilated with fresh air as they require 
it, and have sufficient heat in winter by fire, they will 
thrive as well as in a regular Greenhouse; but in dark 
and close rooms, Plants will not thrive long, for they 
will draw up, spindle, and be weak for want of light 
and air, which are most essential to their cultivation. 
When it is desirable to have Plants in Flower in rooms 
of this description, such as Camellias, Magnolias, Ger¬ 
aniums, and other Plants, they will continue in Flower 
several days longer, by being in the shade, but as soon 
as the Flowers are past, they should be removed to 
the conservatories, or a light airy room, or they will 
soon spoil. 1
