some other kind. It is a very elegant plant, and, 
if managed well, will continue in flower the greater 
part of the year. Like the other tuberous-rooted sorts, 
it thrives best in an equal portion of turfy loam, peat, 
and sand, watering it only when quite dry, and not at 
all when in a dormant state. This, as well as many 
others of the free-growing tuberous-rooted kinds, may 
be grown very large and strong, by shifting them into 
large pots : they will then require but little water, and 
will produce an abundance of fine flowers. They may 
be propagated by seeds, or by the tubers of the roots.
