 young plants are one inch high, pot in No. 60, one 

 in each pot. Use the following soil : one part dung, 

 one yellow loam, one leaf soil, with about one sixth 

 part rough sand. If this plant can be grown in

 but if this cannot conveniently be done, it will 

 succeed in the flower-house. If the lead of each 

 shoot be pinched off when it has attained the height

 water occasionally with manure water.
