tended for blossom in the following months will 

 require only the greenhouse. It is advisable to 

 have not less than six plants at the respective 

 seasons of growth, to keep up a succession of plants 

 in flower. 



Soil. — It succeeds well in turfy loam two parts, 

 decomposed dung one part, and a portion of rough 

 sand. The drainage must be complete. 



Season of repotting. — This must be in the 

 months of August, January, and May, at which 

 time you introduce them into their respective 

 situations as directed above. Full sized plants will 

 require No. 8 pots, others in proportion to their 

 growth. 



Water. — From the time of their commencing 

 growth give a good supply, increasing it as they 

 fill their pots with roots, and gradually diminishing 

 it as the flowers decay ; and when the leaves begin 

 to turn yellow and fall off, give no more, but re- 

 move the plants into a cool dry situation protected 

 from the frost.
