Treatment of Plants.

Watering of the plants should not Dc
too profuse. Plants of all kinds require
moisture, but 1t Is not necessary to saturate
them every time this is done, nor should
they be watered too often. The BEDS
should face the south, in order to ge' the
full benefit from the warm exposure, and
to protect at the same time from colo
storms. The heat III the beds may DC
auickened by adding line (iue and IN
slacked) to the manure when It Is put IN
them. But this sometimes causes too Eluch
heat. To lower the heat cold water IL SUI
hcient, but, care must be used not TO lower
il too much on cold days. In mid
weather the sash should always be raised
a little for ventilation, and at night an old
rug, piece of carpet or a few boards shosl Id
be placed over the sash for retention OF
warmth. The young plants need no ap-
plicatious of liquid manure or solutions, as
the roots soon reach TO the source OF
nourisnment below. Should they appear
sickIy a teaspoonful of ammonia to each
quart of water will assist in reviving them
out sometimes the sickly appearance IS a
sign that more ventilation is needed To
grow early plants under glass the operator
must conclude, In the beginning, that they
are to be well attended to and carefully
watched, for a sudden change In the
weather-either of heat or cold-often
damages them before the injury can be
noticed.
