THE SENSITIVE AND ICE PLANTS.

The delicate and very curious plant
known as the sensitive plant Is quite easy ot
cultivation. The seeds should be sown 10
pots Of light, rich soil, and placed in the hot
bed. When the young plants have made
three ar four leaves, they should be potted
separately into small pots. and replaced in
the hot-bed or greenhouse until May, when
they may be turned out io the opon ground
in the flower border, or retained in the pots.
1t is an advantage, however. to keep them IN
pots, as the heavy rains Of summer SONS
times injure them, SO as to prevent their
showing that sensibility for which they aro
so much admired; their graceful foliage also
appears to much better advantage in pots
than in the border. The ice plant is anoth-
sr most curious exhibition. To grow is
successfully, the seeds should be placed in
pots, in light, sandy soil, and the pots placed
in hot-b bed. When the young seedlings are
sufficiently large, they should be potted into
small pots, 10 the same kind Of soil in which
the seeds were sown. As soon as the roots
fill the pots, they should be removed to
larger size, and this should be repeated as
often rs required. The plants look highly
ornamental.
