Cult. Gompltnlbbium is a genus of most elegant plants : its 

 species thrive well in an equal mixture of loam, peat, and sand, 

 but care must be taken not to give them too much water, as 

 they are extremely tenacious of moisture, and difficult to pre- 

 serve in ;i living state. Young cuttings will root freely if planted 

 in a pot of sand, with a bell-glass placed over them, but some 

 of the species produce seed in abundance, which is the best way 

 of increasing them, as they make better plants from seeds than 

 from cuttings.
