round their base. In re-potting, it is well to use a 

 thick, soft glove, to save alike hands and spines ; and 

 then it is advisable to remove most of the soil, as well 

 as drainage, and any faulty roots, holding the plant 

 well up, and shaking the compost with the other hand 

 carefully among the roots. Water at all times must be 

 given with care ; but, when growing in fine weather hi 

 summer, they will require a considerable supply both at 

 the roots and as vapour in the atmosphere, with a 

 high temperature. As soon as the spines change colour, 

 moisture must be gradually withheld, the temperature 

 lowered, and more air given. Summer temp., 60 to 

 90 ; winter, 40 to 50*. 



Insects. The Red Spider seizes them at times ; and 

 he must be started immediately, either by covering the 

 surface of the pot, and then placing your hand over it, 

 turning it topsy-turvy, and drawing the plant rapidly 

 several times through water at 120 ; or by dusting the 

 plants with flowers of sulphur ; or, as alike prevention 

 and cure, fuming the house by placing sulphur on the 

 hot- water pipes, or on a hot- water plate kept on purpose. 

 The most remarkable are the E. pilosus Steinesii and 

 ingens, the monsters for size lately introduced to Kew 

 Gardens.
