These require to be kept rather dry and cool in the winter season. No. 5.
may be had in flower all the year, by having several pots, and keeping
them dry at different periods. Early in spring the tubers may be potted
in 6 in. pots, in a soil composed of well-decayed leaf mould, loam, and
sand. They require little water till the leaves appear, when they will
take an abundance. They may be forwarded in a little heat, but will do
pretty well if allowed to come along with the season. They are easily
propagated from their tubers, by cuttings, or by seeds.
