Culture of Afeconopsis. The seed should be sown during the spring months in b6xes and 

 placed in a cool airy greenhouse and kept shaded until germinated. 



The soil should consist of two parts loam, one part leaf mold, one part sand. After the seedlings 

 are large enough, they should be picked out -into boxes or frames where the frost can be kept away 

 from them and at no lime must they be allowed to get extreme sunshine. They are best always grown 

 in partial shade. 



The seedlings should be planted in a shady place. There should be plenty of rotted manure incor- 

 porated with the soil. When established they will stand any amount of frost. Do not sow seed in the 

 open ground.
