light that can be obtained in this climate. Probably the 

 treatment (riven to Melons will suit it durino- summer. 



We should add, however, that the correspondent who 

 sent it states that it is a free flowerer growing luxuriantly in a 

 moist stove. 



If treated as a stove plant it requires to be potted in a 

 compost consisting of two parts sandy loam and one of peat, 

 in a roush state, but well mixed together. Durinfr the sum- 

 mer months an ample supply of water should be given, and 

 the atmosphere kept as moist as possible. In sunny weather 

 the house should be slightly shaded, otherwise the young- 

 leaves will become scorched by the sun. The temperature 

 in summer may rise as high as 80° or 85° by day, and fall 

 as low as 68° at night, but in winter never above 58° with 

 fire heat. It may be propagated by cuttings in the usual 

 wav.
