thereupon we should immediately transfer them to an intermediate house, (half stove half greenhouse)
until the leaves were withered. Subsequently to that period we should keep them in a cold shaded
frame, just moist and no more, till the beginning of winter. Up to the beginning of February we
should just keep them from frost in a cold conservatory—and as soon as February arrived we should
begin again to treat the plant as at first. In addition to all this, we should keep the pots in pans
full of water during all the time that the plants are in rapid growth.
Is it not worth the while of some one of .our great Amateurs to try this experiment ?
