Miscellaneous Bulbs, Plants, &e. 
Achimenes. When well grown there are few more 
singular or pleasing plants than are the Achimenes. They 
require a very free open soil, consisting of two parts 
moderately decayed leaf -mould, one part peat soil, and a very 
slight addition of sandy particles. A high moist heat of 
seventy-five to eighty-five degrees suits them best, though 
they may be grown moderately well in ten or fifteen degrees 
less heat, if kept close and damp. They are particularly 
well adapted for hanging-baskets and all similar situations.
