On POLYANTHUSES. 
jpOLYANTHUSES blow at the fame 
time, and require nearly the fame 
treatment as Auriculas, both with refpeft 
to foil and fituation ; they are, however, 
¥ 
more impatient of heat and drought, and 
partial to the reverfe, viz. (hade and 
moillure : they may be grown in the fame 
lized pots, and in the fame compoft as 
the latter, with the addition of more 
loam; or they may, with equal pro¬ 
priety, be planted on cool and fhady 
beds or borders, being very hardy, and 
feldom perifh in the coldeft and wetteft 
feafons : but during the heats of fummer 
✓ 
they are frequently deftroyed, unlefs the 
necelfary precautions be taken.
