Seed may be sown from April to July. June if 
only one sowing is made. Being rapid growers, 
they should not receive a check of any kind from 
start to finish. When potting use a fairly rich 
soil, in as rough a condition as the size of the 
pots will allow. Keep the .surroundings cool and 
moist, but do not over-water, or expose them to 
the sun sufficiently to make them wilt.

habit as the C. grandiflora, it differs from the 
old type In the petals being twisted and quilled 
thus justifying the name given to it. Its charm- 
ing flowers include not only the colours usually 
found in that class of plants, but also those of 
the new hybrids introduced in late years, such 
as Antique rose, Matador and all their deriva- 
tives.
