with management, they may be had in bloom for many months. The unnamed hybrids quoted 
we specially recommend, as they are from the best collection in Europe, and are sure to please, 
both as regards variety, beauty of colour, and size of flowers. 
Culture. — Immediately after potting, place in a moist warm temperature, and plunge the pot 
to the rim in a gentle, steady, moist bottom heat ; thus treated, a vigorous leaf-growth is produced, 
and a strong stem with a fine umbel of large flowers secured. In the absence of bottom heat they 
do well in an ordinary greenhouse or sunny sitting-room window.
