As soon as the plants have ceased flowering, such 

 as you are desirous of increasing turn out of the 

 pots, and remove the suckers. Be careful of the 

 roots of the parent plant. Put the suckers in Xo. 

 16 size pots, in two parts loam and one part dung; 

 then place them in the flower-house. Let them 

 remain in this pot until they fill it with roots, which 

 will be by October, if the suckers be strong. Shift 

 into Xo. 8, and when the pot is full of roots, which 

 will be in the spring., then give one more shifting 

 into Xo. 6, and place them in the open air until 

 October, when remove into the flower-house : with 

 the above treatment they will flower in April. 

 Should you want the plant to flower in the autumn, 

 keep it in the flower-house all the summer. The 

 old established plant, if placed in the open air 

 during the summer months, will blossom in April, 

 if taken into the flower-house in October. Give 

 abundance of water to them whilst they are in 

 heat.
