Culture. — Sow in well-drained pans from January to March (or in the autumn), fill the pans with soil consisting of a mixture of 
half peat and half leaf mould, with a small quantity of pulverised charcoal and silver sand sifted very fine, to within half an inch of the 
rim ; water with fine rose, then sow the seed thinly, taking care not to cover it with soil ; place in a temperature of 75 deg., and cover 
the pans with a piece of shaded glass, gradually removing the same as the seedlings progress. When large enough to handle, prick off 
inlo pans at about one inch apart, then pot off into single pots. Many will soon attain the requisite strength to go into 5 inch or 48 
pots, and will bloom in August and September of the same year. The potting-off soil should consist of one-half good loam, one-half 
fibrous peat, with a good sprinkling of sand and broken charcoal.
