sized plants from nine inches to one, two, and three feet high. 

 Its peculiarly vigorous growth requires a less rich soil than 

 others, and also a more restricted condition of growth, by 

 seldom potting. By adopting these precautions it will be found 

 to retain its rich ample verdure, and form fine plants in smaller 

 pots than the generality of kinds equally robust. Strong- 

 vigorous plants sliould not be potted later than from October 

 to January; and successional ones not later than March." 



We had the opportunity of seeing in August the stock of 

 this novel flower ; and can bear witness to the accuracy of the 

 description, and its value as a decorative plant.
