syringed over the tops, wliicli Avill cause tlie
atiiiospliere to be very moist ; in this state the
plants will thrive surprisingly. Fruiting
])lants must not be grown in an over-moist
atmosphere, but should have, when such can
be given, a freer circulation of air, or the
fruit will be of an inferior liavour. The temperature
in winter should be 70 or 75 degrees,
in summer 80 or 85 degrees, and when closed
in the afternoon 100 or 110 degrees. The best
plants are obtained from suckers, but new or
very rare sorts are also obtained from the
crown of tlie fruit. After the fruit is exit, the
stools should still continue in a good bottomheat,
and strong suckers equal to year-old
jilants may be soon taken off. Synonymes : 1,
