HOUSE PLANTS.
On former occasion we endeavored to de-
tail all the essential directions for the success
full cultivation Of house plants, and deeming it
unnecessary to repeat them. will supplement
few additional suggestions. We then re-
marked, that " In many collections might
be seen plants differing widely in their HABITS
and requiring different culture, reduced to one
regimen"
This treatment must necessarily prove fatal
to many varieties of plants Though 1t may, for
time. keep some In apparent health, IL must
eventually result In injur1ng If not in the total
destruction OF the whole. The peculiar
habits OF plants must be consulted and
their requirements conformed TO- IL we
would have our expectations realized. We
cannot change the laws which govern
them, and whenever we attempt 1t injury and
destruction follow. Can we reasonably expect
the Begonfa and plants of similar habits TO en-
dure the ScorchiLg rays OF the sun when nature
designed them for the shade? or the Rose and
others similarly constituted to grow and -four
ish In excessive moist and dark positions when
good drainage and the heat Of the sun are nee
esSary TO keep them In health and enable them
to bring forth their flowers?
All collections OF house plants should aSsimi.
late In habit as near as possible, and not consist
OF an fndiscrim1nate group OF exotic and hardy
specimens. Where the requirements OF one
class antagonist those OF others all are i'm
paired TO some extent, and sooner or later the
whole become diseased and unfit for further use.
In conclusion, we would appeal to ALL and
particularly the ladies, 10 engage In the cult.
