to the withering of the lower leaves, and consequent naked appearance 
they often present at blooming time ; therefore, a place somewhat 
shaded suits them better during the summer season, but they should * 
even then be carefully watched. They should be occasionally stopped, 
in order to encourage short bushy growth ; the last stopping may be 
given in August or even the early part of September, but the former is 
the safer, for if not very fine weather you may not have as good a bloom. 
I once practised a plan recommended in some gardening periodical, and 
used I believe by Mr. Salter, namely, planting them out in the open 
ground, cutting round the roots occasionally, and then lifting them when 
just coming into bloom and potting them. It is an easier plan than 
keeping them in pots, but l cannot say I liked it, as it was the worst 
bloom I ever had. If properly grown, they will hardly require any 
staking, and some of the sorts will make really handsome plants. I 
subjoin a list of sorts, in which I have been regulated more by the 
qualities of growth, shape, and colour, than of size ; they may not tally 
with the lists of others, but they have pleased me :—
