apparently quite hardy, as Mr. Atkins has had plants of it
out all last Winter in the open border, without suffering
injury from the cold ; and he found them to flower quite as
well as those that had been under glass ; but he recommends
their being defended from excessive wet by means of an handglass,
raised so as to admit of a free circulation of air, the
plant appearing to be both impatient of wet and confined
air. Mr. Atkins finds that peat suits it best; and he informs
us that the original plant, which is placed in a border
of that soil, is five feet in circumference, and has sent forth,
in the course of the season, upwards of 150 stems, each bearing
from 30 to 70 flowers, which is well attested by the
samples Mr. Atkins has sent us. The plant is increased by
parting only.
