'ult. Frankénia is a genus of beautiful little everg at 
shrubs or herbs, ornamented with pretty little flesh-coloure’ oid 
reddish flowers. The hardy species are well adapted for = 
menting rock-work, or to be grown in small pots and p the 
among other alpine plants as well as those marked tram Aia 
greenhouse species should be placed on the front shelf of a P, 
house during winter. They all thrive well in a mixture ° i 
sand, and peat, but the pots require to be well draine whic 
potsherds. They are readily increased by cuttings,
