sandy peat and loam ; the covering of the seeds, which are 

 very small, must be a very small quantity of silver-sand. 



The plants, when large enough, should be potted off into 

 small pots, putting two or three plants into each pot, in which 

 they may remain during winter in a warm part of the green- 

 house until the following spring, when they will require 

 shifting into larger pots ; they may be finally planted out in 

 the open border about the beginning of June, but not earlier, 

 as a little frost destroys them. They will flower the first 

 season if the seeds are sown early in spring ; but the flowers 

 will not be so fine, nor perfect their seeds in any quantity.
