Our drawing* of this plant was made at the Nursery 

 of Messrs. Whitley, Brames, and Milne, at Fulham. It 

 makes a pretty plant for the adorning of rock- work, 

 producing its fine double flowers, the greater part of the 

 Summer. It may also be grown in small pots, in a 

 mixture of sandy loam and peat ; the plants can then 

 be protected by mats, or placed in frames in severe 

 frost. A collection of the different species and varieties 

 of this handsome genus, grown in pots, and placed to- 

 gether, in a clump, make a splendid appearance, when 

 in flower, in the Slimmer ; we scarcely know any tribe 

 of plants that make so gay a show when in bloom ; and 

 though the flowers continue but a short time, still the 

 succession that follows, makes that of little or no con- 

 sequence. The present plant is readily increased, by 

 planting young cuttings under hand-glasses, in August, 

 but the glasses must be removed from them as soon as 

 rooted, or they will be liable to damp.
