liCHIMENES. 
■ IIESK consist of small scaly corms or tubers. 
Shake out of the dry soil any time during the 
winter, and about March or April place three or 
four in a longitudinal i)osition in a 6-inoli pot, 
just below the surface, put them in a warm temperature, 
as they like plenty of heat, free from cold draughts, 
water gently until they get into full growth, and after 
dowering to be gradually dried ; the ordinary rich zonal 
soil suits them, and, if well cared for, they are splendid 
things tor decoration all through July, August, and 
September. One of our 100 ft. houses has again been a 
splendid sight. Tubers from October to March, 3d. each ;
