Ki'ciNUS — continued. 



Sow seeds J in. deep in pots plunged in a brisk 

 hotbed in February or March. The soil must be 

 made firm. When large enough the seedlings must 

 be i^otted up singly in 4-in. pots in sandy loam, 

 leaf-mould, and a little rotted manure. They 

 should then be kept in a warm moist temperature 

 and given plenty of water. When the roots have 

 filled the pots, remove them into 6-in. pots. 

 Towards the end of May they can be placed in a 

 cold frame and afterwards gradually inured to out- 

 door temperature. Plant out at the end of June in 

 warm sheltered position in large holes specially dug 

 and enriched. Mulch the surface in dry weather 

 with manure, watering frequently.
