“ Mr. Knight, of the Exotic Nursery, Chelsea, has a simple method ofcausing this plant to flower three times in the year, by the followingtreatment. After the first flowering is over, which will be about the endof May, he strips off all the leaves, and cuts off all young and super-fluous shoots which have been formed, to within a few eyes of thestem, which causes it to throw out fresh leaves, and to flower againin the months of July and August; and, after this flowering is over,the same process is repeated of cutting off the leaves, and this causesit to flower again in the months of October and November. It maybe said that this plant will naturally flower twice, and sometimes thrice,in the season; but, when it does (which is but very seldom), the flowersare so very weak, and there are so few of them, that it is never worthnotice; whereas by the above simple process an abundant succession offlowers may be insured throughout the whole season. It should beremembered that these remarks will not apply to young plants, butonly to those that are well established. (See Paxt. Mag. of Bot.Feb. 1837.)”
