About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1851. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... A FEW POPULAR STOVE PLANTS AND THEIR CULTURE. Achtmenes.--Few plants have so rapidly acquired a large portion of favour as this striking family. The roots are small and tuberous, as much like large white maggots as any thing I can think of, and A. coccinea had been cultivated many years under the name of Trevirania coccinea. The plant, it will be recollected, died down every season. The maggot-like tubers were taken up when nearly dry, and generally placed, half a dozen in a pot of the size thirty-two, and, after growing some months, bloomed a small scarlet flower at the base of each leaf: bright as it was, it never was a favourite with me, because the proportion of flower to the foliage was so small; but we have now some splendid varieties with flowers as large as a half-crown piece, and as numerous as the little scarlet ones were. The plants grow finer and are literally covered with bloom, --some of dark purple, others of a rosy purple. A. Longiflora, A. Skinneri, and A. Picta, should be grown. The others I care little about; in fact, all the small flowering ones may be dispensed with, and especially as we are acquiring new varieties of the larger kind every season. They grow best in loam and peat, and, if the loam be from rotted turfs, no dung; if it be plain, put one part loam, one part leaf mould, and two parts peat. Fill the thirty-two-sized pots within an inch and a half of the top, first settling it down by striking the pot on the table; then place about half a dozen of the largest tubers in the soil, and cover them up nearly to the top of the pot. Let this be done in January or February, and place them in the stove anywhere. "When they come up they must be placed in the light--the nearer the better. Befresh them occasionally with water, for they must not...
