he adds, “ from seed, usually sown in spring, blooming finely 
the following season, and for many successive seasons; it will 
not strike from cuttings, and lasts a long time, coming into 
bloom and on the turn, altogether three months.” With such 
properties it ought to be valued, and we can hardly conceive 
anything more effective than it would be for window garden¬ 
ing, or wherever decorative plants are required, there being a 
richness in the light-orange, contrasted with crimson, and the 
woolly character of the foliage, which is quite remarkable; 
and we have very little doubt that its having been again 
brought forward as an exhibition plant, and successfully too, 
will tend to bring it once more into favour.
