 In all his dealings with the Society there 

 was evidenced the considerate spirit of the

 while he was always in the forefronl of 

 every movement of true progress, and

SILENE LACINIATA. 



This perennial is one of the nicest 

 of all known Silenes. It is at home 

 among rocks, or in rocky, sunny soils. 

 It grows from about six to eight inches 

 high, and blooms during the whole 

 season with brilliant red Rowers. The 

 roots are quite thick, and penetrate 

 very deep into the soil. We find it 

 requires a sunny, dry location, and in 

 winter a protection of pine needles or 

 the like.— From Holler's I). Gt. Ztg.
