As soon as the roots begin to push out into the soil the shading ? can be removed altogether. It may be advisable to state that when setting up the plants the shorter plants should be placed at the edges of the bench and the taller plants in the center. The reason for this is that the taller plants are usu- -ally the stronger and will require more -water, and hear the edges of the bench the plants will dry more rapidly. (jreat care should be taken in watering ; the soil should never become very dry in the pots and the plants should be gone over daily, spouting the driest of the plants previous to a general watering. Syringe forcibly on bright days and keep a little sulphur painted on the pipes; fumigate regularly and give them plenty of fresh air, avoiding draughts, a tem- perature of 56° to 58° at night, about 70° on bright days with air in the house and on cloudy days from 62° to 65°. Under these conditions the plants may not grow rapidly, but they will be sturdy and will form better wood at the be- ginning. They should be allowed to make only one growth in these pots; as -soon as that is ripened they are ready for :the size pots. E. To Be Done ^ow. IN THE GREENHOUSES.
