ON FLOWERING THE TRIVERANIA COCCINEA. 7 



some plants near where they stood, I noticed one showing bloom, 

 then another, and so on, and ultimately was agreeably surprised to 

 find that, out of about two dozen, they all but three showed flower. 

 They were then removed to a more eligible situation in the green- 

 house, where they flowered most beautiful during April. Thus, it 

 is very evident that the temperature they had been accustomed to be 

 grown in was too hot for them, for, as soon as they were turned out 

 of that element, they showed 'flower as soon as nature could produce 

 them.

ON FLOWERING THE TRIVERANIA COCCINEA. 



BY CORNELIUS. 



Having been very successful in flowering the Triverania Coccinea, 

 I send you my mode of treatment, which, perhaps, you may deem 

 worthy a place in the Floricultural Cabinet. 



Culture : — About the end of March I divide the roots carefully, 

 and pot them in light sandy loam, with about one-fourth of cow- 

 dung added, covering the roots about half an inch deep. The size 

 pots I use are twenty-fours. After potting them, I place them in a 

 hot bed, which is not in a powerful heat. When the plants are about 

 three inches high, I remove them into a vinery ; I give them a 

 regular supply of water, and never failed to have a splendid bloom, 

 which have been the admiration of all that have seen them. As soon 

 as the plants have done blooming, I begin to be sparing of water, 

 so that in three weeks or a month I desist entirely. The pots of 

 plants are then placed in a dry back shed, where the frost will not 

 reach them, till wanted the next season.
