STOVE AND ORCHID-HOUSE.
Keep up a sweet, moist atmosphere with a regular circulation
of air, using an abundance of water about the floors; and syringe frequently air plants and others suspended. Shut up a solar heat, if possible, of 80° towards three or four o’clock.
Achimenes.—Shift them, and also Gesneras, and pot others for succession.
Begonias.—When the flowers begin to decline, the plants may be reduced, and potted into smaller pots, and be kept close for some time afterwards. Put in cuttings of them, if not attended to before; and also cuttings of Eranthemums, Euphorbias, Gesneras, Justicias, Linums, &c.
Clerodendrons.—Give them plenty of room and encouragement to grow.
Orchids.—They should have a mild, but regularly moist, atmosphere for a few weeks until they begin to grow; no water to be applied until that period, and then with moderation.
FORCING-PIT.
Get in Balsams, Cockscombs, Globe Amaranthuses, and other such plants from the dung-frame, that will be useful for the summer and autumn decoration of the greenhouse and conservatory.
