 requires a warm intermediate house, and if the plants are prepared about mid-summer, 

 and grown on to healthy plants, they will continue to produce an abundance of orange 

 scarlet flowers throughout the entire winter. 



Star of Wilts. Tube and sepals cream color, corolla pale pinkish violet, with distinct margin 

 of orange ; a very fine flower. 



Triomphant. Tube and sepals carmine, very large lilac corolla, fine habit and free bloomer, 

 fine.
