In conclusion, water your plants when they heed it Don't go round everjr morning with your watering pot, giving to each and all impartially. -- With plants you have to be partial; some need twice as much as others, and I have learned - by experience, that a Quantity sufficient for one, is death to another. A good rule to go by, (though there are exceptions,) is to give more water to thin leaved plants, than to thick leaved ones. r : You will soon see when you give too much, as the foliage will drop. :V I have mentioned only a few flowers but they are all easily cultivated, arid I hope if tried, will give as much pleasure to you as they have to me, I think you cannot tail to have " success, if you love flowers as well as I do. ; Myosotis. , s lanra rif flnA ...
