A new and handsome hardy annual, introduced by the 
Horticultural Society from California in 1833. Nothing 1s 
known of the circumstances under which it is found wild, 
nor is it possible to tell, in the absence of native specimens, 
how far the cultivated plant equals the wild appearance ; 
but, as far as can be ascertained at present, 1t thrives per- 
fectly in common black garden mould ; it has not been tried 
either in loam or peat. 
It grows from a foot to a foot and half high, and produces 
its pretty two-coloured blossoms most copiously in May and 
June, when it has been sown the previous autumn ; if sown 
in May, it will flower in August and September. 
A very few plants only have yet been raised ; so that 
it is still very rare, although they seeded in some abun- 
dance.
