This is one of the most showy plants we grow, and we find it very easy to handle. When one has a wet corner to plant in, it will require no care except planting; but we take either the small offsets that grow at the base of flowering plants or sow seed as soon as ripe in summer and pot in very small pots and keep in the shade, taking care not to let them suffer for want of water. These can be wintered under the benches by being plunged in the ground and carefully covered with brush or coarse mulch. In spring, after they get well started, we transfer to 5-inch pots and place on the north side of a building, and always keep thoroughly watered. It is surprising to see what a large plant will be produced from a little offset in this way, and one will be in bloom several weeks. Hammonton, N. J.
