"plants generally produce in plenty; these should be sown
" in autumn, soon after they are ripe, either in a shady moist
" border, or in pots, which should be placed in the shade; in
" the spring, the plants will come up, and must then be kept
" clean from weeds; and, if the season proves dry, they must
" be frequently refreshed with water: nor should they be ex-
"posed to the sun; for while the plants are young, they are
" very impatient of heat, so that I have known great numbers
" of them destroyed in two or three days, which were growing
" to the full sun. These young plants should not be trans-
"planted till the leaves are decayed, then they may be care-
"fully taken up and planted in a shady border, where the soil
" is loose and moist, at about eight inches distance from each
" other, which will be room enough for them to grow one
" year, by which time they will be strong enough to produce
" flowers, so may then be transplanted into some shady borders
" in the flower-garden, where they will appear very ornamental
" during the continuance of their flowers." Miller's Gard. Dict.
