near to the glass : it must remain throughout the 

 year in the flower-house, except during the period 

 of blooming. 



EUPHORBIA SPLENDENS. 



Class, Dodecandria, Order, Trigynia. 



EuphorbiacejE. 



Native of the Isle of France, 1826. — Propagation, 

 seeds and cuttings. 



This charming stove plant is of easy culture. 

 It grows well in any rich light soil, producing its 

 flowers in every month of the year, if kept in the 

 flower-house ; but I think a mass of blooms prefer- 

 able to a few, although in constant flower. To 

 have it in full blossom this month, remove the plant 

 in March from the flower-house into the green- 

 house for about three weeks, then replace it in the 

 flower-house, and a vigorous growth will imme- 

 diately take place : this prepares it for a numerous 

 show of flowers. When in blossom, remove it into 

 the conservatory; let it remain there about two 

 months, and a similar effort will be made to the 

 former when again placed in heat : with this treat- 

 ment you keep a fine bushy plant.
