curious succulent plants (sometimes called Kleinia), and 

 i partly of herbaceous plants, among which are two pretty 

 j hardy annuals (sometimes called Emilia). Of this there are 

 I many varieties, as angustifolia, narrow - leaved ; argenteay 

 'silver variegated ; aurea, gold- variegated ; marginata, yellow- 

 edged ; 7mjrtifolia, myrtle-leaved ; suffruticosa, sub-shrubby, 

 the latter being the sort commonly used for edging to garden 

 walks. The seeds of the latter may be sown in the open 

 borders in April, and the plants come into bloom during 

 summer. The succulent species grow in sandy loam and 

 I: brick rubbish, and need but little water : the cuttings of the 

 stems strike root most certainly after being partially dried 

 before planting. 



CACTUS. See Cekeus, Echinocactus, Mammillaria, 



"Me LOG ACTUS. 



i CAIOPHORA. [Loasacese.] Pretty biennial twining 

 plants, which have been separated from Loasa. To be had 

 in perfection, they should be sown in June or July, and kept 

 through the winter in an airy greenhouse, and then planted 

 out in May, to cover trellis-work, or trained around stakes in 

 large pots, if that be preferred. They are readily increased 



iby seed. Like the Loasas, they have stinging hairs. They 



! usually bloom throughout the summer ; or, if raised as above 

 directed, will also be in blossom through the spring months. 



I C. Interitia is a greenhouse climbing biennial, with flowers 



I brick red. 



CALADENIA. [Orchidaceae.] Curious and very pretty 

 greenhouse perennials, of a race which is found difficult of 

 culture. They should be potted in a compost of loam, peat, 

 and sand, and should be kept in a cool greenhouse. They 

 inhabit Australia, whence the roots are occasionally imported, 

 but they are seldom long preserved alive. Several species 

 are known. 



CALADIUM. [Aracese.] Stove herbaceous plants, re- 

 markable for their fine conspicuous foliage. C. bicolor, a 

 small-growing kind, is one of the most desirable in a small 

 garden : the leaves of this have about half the surface in 

 the centre coloured red. The plants should be potted in 

 rich light loamy soil, and kept in the stove. In winter 

 they are best kept rather diy, but they should 'be kept moist
