Guavu'cium.—Papaverdcee.—-The 
Horned Poppy. A British plant, 
common on the shore between 
Brighton and Shoreham, with glau- 
cous or bluish green leaves, and | 
large yellow flowers. The pods are 
long and horn-like, whence the Eng- 
lish name. The species are an- 
nuals or biennials, and should be 
grown in a chalky or calcareous soil. 
The seeds are common in all the 
seed-shops.

Ground Ivy. ‘There are two spe- 
cies ; one with blue flowers, which 
is a British weed; and the other, 
the flowers of which are pink, which 
is a native of Hungary. They will 
both grow in any common soil; | 
and, being perennials, are increased | 
by division of the roots.

The Blue Daisy. Perennial and 
suffruticose plants, with round heads 
of blue fiowers, most of which re-

All the species grow freely in a} 
mixture of loam and peat, and are 
propagated by cuttings under a 
glass. 
Giorio'sa.— Tulipacee.—G. su- 
perba is a magnificent plant, which 
deserves cultivation in every hot- 
house. It is propagated by seeds, 
which ripen freely; or by dividing 
the reots, which, after the division, 
which should be in January or Feb- 
ruary, should be potted in rather | 
small but deep pots, and plunged 
into a bark-bed, where they should | 
have very little water till they be- |

growing, they should be abundantly 
supphed with water. The stems 
will require to be supported by a 
stake or trellis; and, if allowed suf- 
ficient heat and moisture, they will 
grow rapidly, and flower beautifully. 
When the stalks die down, the pots 
| containing the roots should be re- 
moved to a dry stove, where they 
should be kept entirely without 
water till January or February, 
when the roots should be divided 
and repotted. The soil should be 
composed of one fourth of peat, one 
fourth of leaf mould, and two-fourths 
of loam.

Guoxi'n1a.—Gesneridcee.—Very 
handsome plants, with bell-shaped 
flowers, that require the heat of a 
stove ; hybrids have, however, been 
lately raised between this genus and 
Sinningia, which prove much har- 
dier than their parents. ‘The com- 
monest kinds of Gloxinia are G. 
maculata, which is apt to become 
so weak from the great number of 
its suckers, that unless they are re- 
moved as soon as they appear, it will 
seldom flower; and G. speciosa, 
which flowers abundantly. ‘The 
former species is propagated by divi- 
sion of the root, and the !atter by 
cuttings, which strike so freely 
without a glass, that even a leaf 
taken off with the base of the petiole 
entire, will take root, and make a 
handsome plant. Ail the species 
should be grown in a compost of 
ioam, peat, and sand, or in very 
/sandy loam and vegetable mould ; 
and, when beginning to grow, the 
plants should be well supplied with 
heat and moisture. The pots should, 
indeed, stand in a saucer kept half 
full of water.
