If the pans are then placed in a warm temperature with bottom heat, every piece will quickly de^'elop one or more buds and grow into a young plant. March is per- haps the best time for propagating. As soon as the young plants are well rooted they should be potted singly into small pots and grown along in a tempera- ture of about 60°. By the end of May the plants may be planted out, either in spent hotbeds or frames prepared with a goodly proportion of leaf-mold mixed with the soil, if fine pot plants is the ultimate aim ; or if grown for cut-flowers only, they may be planted out in the greenhouse benches about ;i in<*hcs apart, giving all the air possible atiil :i iilmlilul -uiiiily of moisture.

Towards the end of April they be well pruned back, and in May again planted out for the summer. The same plants may be grown in this way for several years, when in 4 or 5 years' time they will make very fine specimens. C
