The seeds should be sown in August, and when the 

 plants are strong enough they should be potted off, and 

 kept in an airy part of the greenhouse during winter; early 

 in the spring they should be re-potted, and about the 

 middle of April, (unless the weather be very cold) they 

 should be planted out in a border composed of maiden loam, 

 leaf mould, and bog earth, in equal proportions, with a 

 slight mixture of pounded chalk, in which the plants will 

 thrive well, and will show flower in ten months bog earth 

 alone would destroy them. If the plants are put into a
