PAXTON'S FLOWER GARDEN. 



As to their treatment, there is no better way of getting good bushy plants for 

 autumn and winter flowering than to strike the cuttings in the autumn, keeping 

 them in small pots through the winter, and in spring to plant them out in the open 

 ground, leaving them there until September. Then take them up and pot them, giving 

 a plentiful supply of water ; their natural disposition to form roots freely enables them 

 to get fully established. They flower for a considerable time in an ordinary greenhouse 

 temperature.
