IMPATIENS HOLSTII NANA LIEG- 

 NITZIA. 



(Translated.) 



On the occasion of a visit paid to a 

 little flower show at Schweidnitz in 

 Silesia in search of what was new, I 

 came upon a group, hidden in a very 

 unfavorable half-dark part of the hall, 

 of Impatiens Holstii in flower, whose 

 dwarf, compact growth and close 

 flowers of a vermillion color arrested 

 my attention. Impatiens Holstii nana 

 Liegnitzia, the raiser, Oskar Otto of 

 Liegnitz, had named it, and I will ac- 

 knowledge the name openly pleased 

 me not, for I do not like the Latin- 

 izing of plant names so long as one is 

 in the position to give a German name 

 to a new plant or variety that will be- 

 come popular among the people as a 

 new child among flowers. Still, this 

 apart, this Red Riding Hood impatiens 

 quickly pleased me, and 1 named her 

 Fleissige Lieschen von Liegnitz, on 

 the spur of the moment — a very pass- 

 able name. This pretty child among 

 flowers was noted down, and shown at 

 the great exhibition at Berlin. 



Convinced of the good points of this 

 novelty, I undertook the distribution 

 commercially of the variety, and was a 

 witness during the days of the exhibi- 

 tion, how readily the public took to the 

 little plant. Ach! See how sweet, how 

 charming is the Fleissige Lieschen, 

 and how distinct the coloring, and 

 how modest. And the idea took me 

 to imagine how a group of the azure 

 blue Clematis Lazurstern (Goos and 

 Koenemann) would look with an edg- 

 ing of the same. 



This novelty was selling well the 

 entire year — in the spring as a pot- 

 plant, and more especially as an edg-

 the autumn it was still being sold as a 

 window plant, where it would blossom 

 all the winter, at least in a spot where 

 a modicum of the sun's rays could 

 reach the plant. — Bmil Chaste, Wil-
