 THE YEAR AROUND 



The Longiflorum varieties flower in from 13 to 18 weeks after they are potted, and the Auratums and Speciosums 

 in 18 to 2i weeks. 55° to «0° is sufficient for the Speciosums, while the Longiflorum varieties will do better by 

 a 5° lower temperature, especially from November until February. Careful watering is necessary to avoid 

 getting the soil too wet. Under these condi\ions .'Speciosums potted end of July and Longiflorums end of
