Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom . The sediment shouldbe removed from the bottom with a dip tube twice aweek, and the inner side of the glass cleaned with awiper once a week. Encourage the growth of the plantsat all seasons ; admit plenty of light, but no direct sun-shine. There should also be a few tadpoles and snailsin the Aquarium.
