IIESE consist of small, scaly conns or 
tubers. Shake out the dry soil any time 
during the winter, and about March or 
April place tliree or four in a longitudinal posi- 
tion in a 6-inch pot, just below the surface, put 
them in a warm temperature, free from cold 
<lraiights, as they like plenty of heat, water 
gently until they get into full growth, and after 
flowering gradually dry them. The ordinary 
rich soil suits them, and if well cared for, they 
are splendid things for decoration all through 
J uly , August, and September. One of our 100 ft. 
houses has again been a splendid sight. Tubers
