should be potted at first in as small pots as will conveniently 

 accommodate them and shifted into larger pots as they require 

 it. But little water must be given to the roots till active growth 

 commences, when, as the plants develop, they require an abun- 

 dance. A warm, humid atmosphere is necessary for their best 

 development but tliey must be shaded from bright sunlight. The ..-x-sj-^-vw
