with the windows in suitable aspect to re-
ceive the sun, the plants will do nearly as
well as in a greenhouse. IF observed to
suffer. the effects may be traced to these
causes-ether want of proper light and air,
iniudcious watering, filthiness collected on
the leaves, or being potted in unsuitable soil
Want Of proper light and air is. perhaps,
the most essential point of any to be con-
sidered; for, however we'll all other requisites

always cause the plant to grow weak and

receive as much air as can he admitted when
the weather will allow. Thos, persons who
have no other place than the house to keep
them in, will find that they derive very great
