No. 1734. 
This splendid sort has been in cultivation 
probably since 1800. Its flowers are pro- 
duced in May and June in rich profusion : 
they are particularly splendid, and often 
form a spike of two feet in length, densely 
covered. It is one of the most vigorous 
growing kinds, and should have particu- 
larly large pots, and be watered unsparingly, 
in default of which it becomes starved, and 
soon dies. It may be readily increased by 
cuttings: the soil must be peat.
