One third oflight loam will, however, be requisite. Special care should be taken not to putthe specimens in a pot of too great a diameter, and to water them at all times withcaution ; since no plants suficr more from drought or saturation. Cuttings, treatedin the ordinary way, will root soonest in the month of Jlay or June.
