ScHizANTHUs, Ruiz and Pavon. From schizo, to cut,

lariacex. This is a genus of extremely beautiful

ceed well if the seed be sown in an open border 
early in spring ; they may al.so be reared on a hot- 
bed in spring, planting a portion in the open 
border, and growing the remainder in pots in iho 
greenhouse, with a free admission of air and light. 
To protmre flowering plants early in summer, thn 
seed should be sown in pots during the autumn, 
and the plants kept in a frame or greenhouse 
throughout the winter.
