The following valuable suggestion relating TO the
culture of pc, plants reared in the house, we take
from the Lowell Journal

how do you make them grow p This remark is
frequently made, and propose TO Doie down few
short hints which, il attended to, will enable any
and all enjoy the beauty and fragrance ofthe
and other flowers every month in the year In the
first place the pots should have plenty of drainage
at the bottom; made with broken crockery, or
brick, small stones, so that any surplus moisture
may run off The soil should NOT be too fine and
compact, but should be mixture Of garden loan,
beat" decaJed vegetables, soil from the woods
which will make peryious soil, and will not be
come heavy and black. Charcoal broken up fine
ISL is very good for any plants. Cactuses require
with loan, portion Of coarse sand, pounded brick
and old mortar
The plants should be waiered when they need it,
and this does not depend upon the number Of hours
that have elapsed since they were last watered.-
lfthey stand in or near South window, or in a
very warm room, where they have full sun all the
day, they will require water much more often than
ilthey are partially shaded or out ofthe sun. And
il also depends upon whether the plants are in a
growing state not all plants have their seasons
of rest When water is applied it should be in
such quantity as will penetrate the whole soil II
will not do just to keep the top wet. In few
words, never let the soil in the pot become dry, and
do no, keep il heavy. There is no danger Of the
latter if the soil is rightly mixed and there is good
drainage. The tops of the plant, leaf and branch,
shonld also be wet more less, if you would have
the plant healthy, Dip the whole plant into a tub

The green lice which are so common are easily

you have the facility for using it. Cactuses SHOULD
