some other kind. It is a very elegant plant, and,
if managed well, will continue in flower the greater
part of the year. Like the other tuberous-rooted sorts,
it thrives best in an equal portion of turfy loam, peat,
and sand, watering it only when quite dry, and not at
all when in a dormant state. This, as well as many
others of the free-growing tuberous-rooted kinds, may
be grown very large and strong, by shifting them into
large pots: they will then require but little water, and
will produce an abundance of fine flowers. They may
be propagated by seeds, or by the tubers of the roots.
