 This numerous genus succeeds well in turf peal 

 and potsherds ; if the peat contains a little sphag- 

 num, not too much decayed, it will be much better, 

 and when it does not contain any, chop a little and 

 add it to the peat. They require a good supply of 

 water when growing freely, but a little only when 

 at rest, withholding it altogether when in a dor- 

 mant state for a few weeks.
