 The corolla is of an orange colour, and oj)ens at the beginnin<>- of 

 August. It is a native ot" Carolina. 



There is a variety of this with small flowers. 



Several other species of this genus arc equally deserving of cul- 

 tivation. 



Culture. — These plants are capable of being raised either from 

 seeds, layers, or cuttings of the stronger shoots, according to the 

 species. 



In the first, the best methods are those of sowing the seeds, ob- 

 tained from abroad, in pots of light fresh earth, in the early spring- 

 season, plunging them immediately in a moderate hot-bed of tan or 

 dung: when the young plants appear, they shoukl be placed in Avarm 

 sheltered exposures till the autunm, when they require the protection 

 of frames and glasses, or of a good green-house, free air being ad- 

 mitted when the weallier will jx rmil. After the plants have attained 

 sufficient growth in these situations, thoy may be removed from the 

 pots, planted out in warm situations where they are to remain, or in 

 the inirsery, protection being given them in the winter season when 

 it proves severe. 



Some however prefer raising plants of this sort by setting the 

 cuttings of the young shoots in the early spring, in pols of the same 

 earth, plunging them in moderate hot-beds till they have stricken 

 full root, Avater and siiade being occasionally given them, gradually 

 as the summer advances enuring ihom to the full air, in order to 

 harden them. On the a[>proach of autumn, they should be taken 

 under shelter of some sort when the weather is severe. In the spring 

 following they may, if necessary, he planted out where they are to 

 stand, or be put in tiie nursery ground. 



'I'iiese plants succeed best in such soils as are rich, and rather 

 inclined to moisture. 



All the other species may likewise be raised liom seeds, by being 

 managed in the same manner as the preceding one; but a more ready 

 method is by layers, made from the young shoots in the autunm or 

 spring seasons; which may be taken ofi' and planted out, either
