GREENHOUSE. 
The management of Plants in a Greenhouse will be 
the same (as regards the care of the Plants.) as before 
directed, and it will be only requisite to keep fire 
sufficient in cold weather to keep out the frost, and 
the more air is given them in fine weather the better. 
In fine mornings, give them air as soon as the sun has 
warmed the house, and shut it up again while the 
house is warm, by two or three o’clock, and in very 
severe weather, it will be well to light the fires as soon 
as the house is shut up, that the flues may get warm 
before the house cools too much, as it will be easier 
kept through the night, but in mild thawy wea¬ 
ther, no fire will be required except frost is expected 
in the night, or the house becomes damp with contin¬ 
ued wet weather; then a fire should be made to dry 
the house, as many Plants are more liable to be 
injured by damp than cold, and incase of frost getting 
in any part of the house, if the Plants are watered all 
over their leaves, or syringed before the sun shines 
enough to thaw them, they will not be much injured. 
The Plants will require looking over every day to see 
if any want water, which should be only given to such 
as are dry. Should any require fresh potting, it can 
be done in mild weather, and young Plants that were 
put in small pots in Fall should be shifted into larger 
pots early in Spring, and they will flower much finer. 
Cuttings of many kinds of Plants may be put in now, 
and many of the soft-wooded kinds require an annual 
propagation. Many of the choice kinds of Garden
