NERINES — continued. 
Nerines bloom most freely when well established in pots. They should be repotted every 
third or fourth year. In potting, put in plenty of crocks to ensure good drainage, and use a compost 
made up of two-thirds good loam and one-third sand, with a sprinkling of well-decayed leaf soil or 
old manure and bonemeal. 
Our fine collection of New Hybrid Nerines at our Taplow Nurseries is well worth seeing 
in autumn. each-*, d
