glass, and be freely supplied with air, when this can be given with 
safety ; and those grown in windows will draw towards the light, 
unless the pots are frequently turned. A sitting-room window forms 
a suitable situation for Hyacinths while in bloom, and their beauty will 
be longer in fading here than in most situations ; in no instance should 
they be removed from a close atmosphere, and suddenly exposed in a 
sitting-room window, until they have, been previously hardened in a 
suitable temperature to withstand cold drying currents. We warn the 
Inexperienced to guard against this common error, and to avoid sub- 
Jecting the plants to sudden changes at any period of their growth.
