This beautiful annual has assumed a grand fea- 

 ture under the management of Mr. Brown, who 

 gives the following directions : — Sow the seeds in 

 August ; pot them off into No. 60, place them in 

 a gentle heat until well rooted, then let them be 

 removed into the greenhouse, and placed near the 

 glass, watering them occasionally. Early in March 

 shift them into No. 48, and continue shifting them 

 until July, when remove them into the open air, 

 and let a free circulation of air be given to them, 

 quite round the plants, in every situation and at 

 all times. 



Soil. — Equal parts leaf and loam, with the ad- 

 dition of a little sand.
