be grown in pots or planted in a pit kept dry and well pro- 

 tected from frost during winter, for the least frost or wet 

 destroys the roots. If the plants are grown in pots they 

 should be re-potted about the beginning of March, and 

 placed in a warm part of the green-house, not giving them 

 much water at first; they will flower about August, after 

 which they should be kept rather dry (not entirely dry, but 

 watered very sparingly during winter), and placed in a cool 

 part of the green-house to rest. The seeds should be sown 

 when ripe, in a mixture of loam, peat, and a small portion of 

 silver-sand, and raised in the green-house.
