 See that your plants get fresh air whenever 1t can be given them safely This means that cold air should be admitted that it is mixed with the air of the room befose it reaches the plants themselves. Give your plants the benefit of light and sunshine if you wish them to do well. Water only when the surface of the soil looks dry. This rule can not be deviated from with safety by the anna teur. The experienced gardner will frequently discover conditions which make 1t safe for him to vary modify it. but these the amateur will not disc yer, and 1t is not possible tO lay down any instructions by which they may be discovered. Overwatering does untold harm, as 1t causes souring of the soil, and brings on decay of the roots. Apply fert.lize only when a plant is growing for then and then only. can 1t make use of them. Begin with a small quantity of whatever fertilizer you use, and increase the amount the plant in creases in growth, being careful not to over" do the mntIer.
