We commend these beautiful plants to our readers for the reason that we
have found them among the most desirable and satisfactory for window
cultivation of all the various things we have grown in the sitting room.
They are very abundant bloomers, and keep up a succession of flowers for
many months, so that from December to May they are continually bright
and beautiful; they are easily grown by the merest novice in plant
culture, requiring only to be kept from the frost, and regularly
supplied with water. They can be had of several shades, red, pure white,
and striped red and white, and both single and double.
