one-eighth part of coarse bone meal. When the plants are 
ready for large pots, use half leaf mould and half compost. 
Keep the plants as near the glass as possible except when 
they are ready to bloom, when they should he kept at a 
greater distance from the glass. Give plenty of air and al¬ 
ways watch for aphis. Keep the plants cool, 40 at night and 
60 degrees during the day is right. June sown seed produces 
bloom for Christmas. Height 12 to 16 in.
