offsets or cuttings, plants of almost any required size may be obtained for autumn

species is to keep it always in a pot, because its blossoms and foliage will then 
have a delicacy of appearance and tint which much enhances their interest. We 
by no means, however, recommend this practice exclusively. 
Any cold frame will suffice to preserve the plants during winter. Indeed, they 
would probably endure our climate without any protection ; but it is safer to 
afford them a trifling shelter. The engraving represents, on a much-diminished 
scale, the whole specimen, of which our coloured figure is merely the summit.
