Ons Ts scalis if properly grown, is a very 
bepnthd and free-flowering species. Tt should 
be renewed from cuttings every summer, wa- 
tered but litile, and seldom in winter, and not 
be permitted to root through the pots, which 
should be kept in a sheltered but unshaded 
southern aspect ; and in winter placed in a 
pit or frame, with the glasses quite off in all 
bi not frosty weather: and defended from 
ment scd us for all t nus "s the 
dwarfs ; and M. lac Apriles which is hat 
tender. ' The soil should bea light and dry 
one, and but little screened. — In short, the.
