pleasure to ladies, especially during
the winter season, but ii frequently is
the case that failure results. This Is
due TO several causes. the chief difficulty
being that the air of the room is too
dry and the leaves also become covered
with dust. The temperature of the
room should not exceed 50 degrees
during the day or fall below 60 de.

kept clean by Swinging them twice Il
week and the earth in the pots should
be moist but not wet. Classes from
the stove are very injurious to the
plants, and care must be exercised in
guarding against parasites.
