Stove herbaceous plants. Division of the plant* 

 before fresh potting them ; loaro and peat, with a 

 portion of sand and dried cow-dung. They must

 should be tried to give them their rest period by 

 keeping them cooler and drier in winter, and, if 

 well grown before, the advancing heat in spring 

 and summer will bring up the beautiful flowers. 

 Summer temp., 60 to 85, with moist atmosphere 

 when growing, cooler and drier when flowering ; 

 winter, 50 to 55.
