Section //.âEucyclium, of which A\ 'ifropnrpin-einti, E. nemorale and A\prismatocarpnm are good examples, may be grown either in pots or baskets in ecjual parts clean peat fiber and live chopped sphagnum, with a liberal amount of drainage, and excepting i7. vifrlUnuni, which must be grown cool, they require a moist, sunny location with a winter temperature of 58° to 05'^ Fahr. by night and several degrees advance during the day. In February and March, many species will start root or growth action; such as need it should then l»e repotted or top-dressed, as occasion requires. The temperature should be increased several degrees, and a greater amount of water be allowed with frequent overhea<l syringing on bright days. Ventilatiim should be given whenever the weather will permit, to keep the young growths from damping-off and the atmosphere active; at this time the plants will need light shading to pre- vent sun-burning. The stock is increased by cutting nearly through the rhizome 3 or 4 bulbs behind'the lead, when starting action ; this will generally cause the latent eyes to grow, but the pieces should not be re- moved until the new growth is well advanced. Section /i/. âAulizeum includes such species as E. ciliare, E. cochledfum, etc., the several requirements being identical with the preceding. Section JT^ âEuepidendrum.
