muricated, but scarcely at all downy ; a plant called in 

 gardens CE. salicifolia differs in nothing but its stem and 

 leaves being silky with down, and free from the rough 

 points ; in CE. grandiflora there is scarcely any hairiness ; 

 while in (E. muricata the stem sometimes becomes entirely 

 covered with stiff hairs and red rough points or bristles. 



The plant now figured is not uncommon in gardens ; it 

 is one of the handsomest of all biennials, and as easily 



as the common (Enothera biennis itself. The 

 seeds should be sown at Midsummer ; and the plants so 

 obtained should remain in their seed-bed till the next year, 

 when they will flower. It is a bad plan to transplant them, 

 as it prevents their blooming well ; and it is unnecessary, 

 for if they are thinned when young, they will require no 



managed 



further care.
