 lago.) 



Seeds in spring; cuttings of young shoots in 

 summer, in sandy soil, under a hand-light ; sandy 

 loam and peat. The greenhouse species require 

 similar treatment; Inngifo'lia will do against a 

 conservative wall; va&Aly'pum should be tried in 

 a dry, sheltered place, on a rock-work, with a 

 spruce-branch over it in winter.

Greenhouse succulents, from the Cape of Good 

 Hope, and with white flowers, except a'tro-pur- 

 pu'rea. Cuttings of firmish young shoots, taken 

 off and dried for a day or two before inserting 

 them in sandy soil, and placing a hand-light over 

 them, but not close. Sandy loam, a little peat, 

 charcoal, and brick-rubbish, in small pieces, tbe 

 dust being sifted out. Winter temp., 40 to 4 a , 

 and little water given them.

GLORIO'SA. (From gloriosus, glorious ; 

 referring to the flowers. Nat. ord., Lily- 

 worts [Liliacese]. Linn., Q-Hexandria 1- 

 Monogynia. Allied to the Lily.) 



These bulbs are so well known by this name, 

 that we have retained it ; but Clinosty'lis is the 

 true name, referring to the way the style bends to 

 one side away from the stamens. Stove bulbs, ex- 

 cept Nepale'nsis. Divisions of the roots and seeds ; 

 if by the former, take a pot that has been kept dry 

 all the winter, say in March, turn it out, and se- 

 parate the bulbs carefully, without bruising them. 

 Place each bulb, with the end farthest from the 

 old tuber, uppermost in the centre of a clean pot, 

 covering it with an inch or two of soil, the pot 

 being five or ten inches, or any intermediate size, 

 in diameter, according to the size of the bulb ; 

 peat, loam, leaf-mould, old cow-dung, and sand 

 in equal proportions, with good drainage. Give no 

 water until the bud appears above ground, then 

 water and place in a strong, moist heat, growing 

 vigorously, and training as the plant proceeds. 

 When done flowering, and the leaves turn yellow, 

 refrain from watering, and shortly after turn the 

 plants on their broadsides in a dry place, and 

 allow them to rest until next season.
