ScROPHTJLARINjE. 



First variety introduced from Peru, 1773. — Pro- 

 pagation, seeds, division, cuttings. 



A very fashionable genus, and well deserving its 

 popularity. It is of easy cultivation, yet to have it 

 in great perfection requires a little care. Cuttings 

 struck in the summer and kept in No. 48 sized 

 pots during winter. In February they should be 

 shifted into the next size pots ; and shifted again 

 in April. 



Soil. — equal parts pigeons' dung, brown loam, 

 bone dust, bog and rough sand. 



Water with dung water once a week when 

 they have filled the pots with roots. Often 

 sprinkle them over head with clear water, aud give 

 it freely to the roots when in a full growing state. 



For succession bloom it will be only necessary to 

 shift from small pots to larger ones every month 

 during the summer season*
