keep the plants near the glass, and ventilate to pre¬ 
vent their becoming drawn. In July, repot them 
into 48-size pots and grow on as before. When cold 
sets in autumn the plants may be removed to a 
greenhouse, where they should be accommodated 
near the glass and they will soon commence to 
flower.
