Or. Proteacecc. This is a handsome and interesting
genus. The species, to succeed well,
must he treated in the following manner recommended
by Sw^eet. *'The pots must he
well drained, which should be done in the
following manner :—place a piece of potsherd
about luilf way over the hole at the bottom of
the pot, then lay another piece against it that
it may be hollow, afterwards put some smaller
pieces all around them, and some more broken
very small on the top of these. All plants
belonghig to the Proteacece should be drained
in the sanie manner, as the roots are very fond
of running amongst the broken potsherds, and
there is not so much danger of their being
overwatered ; care must be taken not to let
them ilag for want of "water, as they seldom
recover if allowed to get very dry ; they should
also be placed in an airy part of the greenhouse
when in-doors, as nothing is more beneficial
to them than a free circulation of air.
Cuttings are generally supposed to be difficult
to root, but they will root readily if properly
managed ; let them be well ripened before
they are taken off; then cut them at a joint,
and plant them in pots of sand, without
shortening any of the leaves, except on the
part that is planted in the sand, where they
should be taken off quite close, the less depth
they are planted in the pots the better, if they
only stand lirm, when the sAnd is well closed
round them : then place them under handglasses
in the propagating house, but not
phinge them in heat, the glasses must be
frequently taken off to give them air, and dry
them, or they are apt to damp oil'; when they
are rooted, the sooner they are potted off in
small pots the better, a.s the sand is liable to
canker their roots, if left too long in i t ; when
potted off they should be placed in a close
frame, but not on heat, as a bottom-heat will
destroy their roots, when they must be hardened
to the air by degrees. Plants raised in
this way have better roots, grow faster, and
flower sooner, than plants raised from seeds :
in raising them from seeds, they should be
sown in the same kind of soil as the plants
are grown in, and placed in the greenhouse,
or if it is in summer they will come up sooner,
if ])Iaccd out in the open air ; they w411 soon
make their appearance, when they should be
potted off in small pots, for if left in the seed
pots too long they are apt to die, and are more

examples which belong to their Order ; they
thrive best suspended in shallow baskets made

percolate freely, and be placed in an airy
