These have beautiful pearly-white, deliciously scented Gardenia-like flowers. From 12 to 20 flowers are generally on a stem about

well-decayed manure. After potting, plunge in a bottom heat of 60° or 70°, and water freely when foliage appears. In forcing, great care 
should be taken that they do not at any time get chilled, either before or after potting.
