plants may be safely placed under the stages of the greenhouse, 
or in other such place, provided the plants are kept dry, and the 
place sufficiently cool to prevent them from beginning to grow 
before sprmg. They must then be taken out of the pots, the 
roots divested of part of the old soil, repotted in a mixture 
of light loam and leaf-mould, and then be placed so as to receive 
the necessary stimulants for bringing them into a flowering 
state. As they advance in growth and begin to show flower, 
they may be removed into the greenhouse. In summer the 
plants thrive if set in an open border, along with other Fuchsias 
and such like summer plants. They are readily propagated by 
cuttings. J. 8. ?
