There are many beaatifal botanical exper- iments which can be conducted in the house during winter, which are not embraced gene. raily in tbe list of flowers and vines in our parlors and windows. How many of the tair readers of the 7»I-- graph have the beantifal vine of the ewes! ‘nto rupping Over their mantel-skelf! This preity sight can be enjoyed by placing a sweet potato in @ tumbler, or other glass vessel, filled with water, passing a pin through tne tuber so as to keep the lower end from one to two inches from the bottom of the vessel. Keep on the mantel-shelf, in a warm room, and ey- ery day give it sun for ao hour or two, and in & few days rootlings will begin to appear, aim- ing for the bottom of the vesse}, and in two or three weeks the eye will begin to shoot and Tahidly grow and run upon suspended t ine crany little trellis-work prepared for it. Tae droscores: Lavatys ts the prettiest for this pur- pore, when it can be obtained. ‘The «\Mortimg Glory” can be propagated in parior windows, where there is some sun, to periection during winter; it fiowers with its natural colors, and the delica:e little vine can be made torun over the window. A hanging vase is the prettiest for this. Suspend un acorn by a cotton thread so as Bearly to touch the water in a glass vessel, (a byacinth glass is perhaps the best,) set upon the window or mantel, and let it remain there for eight or ten weeks. more or less, without being interfered with, except to supply evap- oration ef the water, and the acorn w.l! burst, and as it throws & root down into the water, a sproat or stem will be sent upward, throwing ont beantiful jitue green lexves; thus giving you 8n oak tree, in full life and health within your parior! There are many of the mosses which can be very successfully grown in the house through the winter, and with the foregoing afford aa interesting and refined enjoyment for the f+m- inines of « family, and a real pleasure to all who havea taste forthe beautifal to witne:s We trust to see a greater inclination on the part of the ladies to introduce into their houses this most agreeable addition to their domestic pleasures—Grrmantown Telegraph —_——- 4 Nenad MOBT BXOITING ANB INTERESTING UOK OF THER DAY.
