These beautifully flowering greenhouse plants 

 require a light soil. The following is the soil I have 

 found them grow remarkably fine in: two parts bog 

 soil, one part yellow loam, one rotten wood, with 

 about one-sixth cally sand. Early in November turn 

 them out of their pots and plant in No. 48, in which 

 pots let them remain until February, when shift into 

 No. 32. If they have filled their pots with roots 

 by April, shift them into No. 24 or 16, according to 

 the growth of the plants. Russeliana is a very 

 strong grower, and it is probable it will require a 

 larger pot than No. 16, but you must be guided in 

 this particular by the strength of your plant. Drain
