low boxes of loose leafmold or peat moss. After 
root growth starts, they should be planted in 
individual pots, using a scil made up of equal 
parts of leafmold, loam, and coarse sand. 
They may be grown on as pot plants or they 
may be transferred to the garden when the 
weather has become warm in late May or June. 
In either case, they must be shaded from the sun

freely.
