PLANTS kept in the windows should be
turned every morning, or the light, strik-
ing on one side only, will draw the plant
to that side so that all its branches and
leaves will tu'n toward the window. The
water in the saucers should never be APP
piled to the plants. In cutting slips Of
any plant always choose the youngest
branches; and cut off the slip at the juno

more readily from such joints. If you
follow these directions and put sufficient
sulphate of ammonia to just faint the
water applied to your plants, you may
cultivate with success almost any plant,
even though you are an entire novice
