(subsoil of chalk> since 1889, and each year it has improved, and is now increasing. Mr. F. W. Burbidge 
has grown it successfully since 1886 in pots, frames, out-doors against a warm house, and latterly 
bloomed it in the grass in a damp meadow. Mr. C. J. Backhouse, of Darlington, grows it successfully 
all over his garden, but on rockwork the flowers are largest.
