Do not wait till the hot weather of May sets in. MODE OF CULTURE. Young plants are planted in open ground here as early as April 15th, as light frosts do not in- jure them: or if for pot culture, a repeated shifting from time to time is advisable, and prefer- able to planting young plants in very large pots at once. Pinch the top shoots once or twice dur- ing the early summer only to en- courage a bushy growth. The soil, common loam, should be enrich- ed by a little leaf mold, well-rot- ted cow manure or bone dust. About October 1st lift the plants from the open ground with a full ball and pot. Keep cool and shady for first week, till well es- tablished, then remove to a sun- ny, airy place, and let tempera- ture never exceed sixty degrees. They enjoy a moist and cool at- mosphere.
