only the common Carnation, which 
has been trained against a wall, 
and, by being kept continually 
growing, has been forced to take 
the character of a tree. It should 
be planted in calcareous loam, 
against an east or west wall, and 
carefully trained, giving it a little 
protection in case of severe frosts. 
Tree Marrow. — Lavatéra. — 
Besides the common annual species 
of Lavatera, there are nine or ten 
species which are shrubby, and one 
of which, Z. phenicea, a native of 
the Canary Isles, is a tree ten feet | 
high. JL. maritima is the common. 
est kind; and as this is a native 
of Spain and the south of France, 
it will thrive in the open air in 
England, if slightly protected during 
severe frosts. J. triloba, L. subo- 
vata, and L. africéna, have all the 
same degree of hardiness, and they 
will all live and flower in British | 
gardens, if about the same care be 
bestowed on them as is usually 
given to the tree Peony. L O'lbia,

with reddish flowers, Z. Pseido- 
O'lbia, with pale purple flowers, 
| L. unguiculaia, and L. hispida, are 
all shrubby species, which require 
a greenhouse, and should be grown 
| in loam and peat. 
Trerort.—See Triro‘Lium. 
Treme'Lua.—Cryptogamia Fun- 
i.—There are several species now 
called Achimenes, and of these 7. 
coccined, Which is the most com- 
mon, is perhaps better ‘known as 
Cyrilla pulchéila. It is a dwarf 
shrub with bright scarlet flowers, 
which it produces in September ; 
and it should be kept either in a 
stove or in a warm greenhouse, the 
heat of which is ll 60 and 7 
degrees. It should be grown in a 
compost formed of equal parts of 
loam, peat, and sand, enriched with 
rotten cowdung or vegetable mould, 
and it should be well and frequently 
syringed with warm water, to keep 
it clear of insects. When it is 
much infested with them, it will be 
advisable to heat the water to 120 
degrees. It is propagated by divid- 
ing the roots in February, taking 
care not to bruise them ; or by cut- 
tings of the points of the shoots” 
taken off in August; and in both 
cases the plants are much improved _ 
by frequently shifting them asthe 
pots fill with reots, and always into 
which the plants were growing. 
Thus treated, the plants will become 
compact little bushes, and will flower 
abundantly. One of the new 
kinds of Achimenes has very large 
dark-blue flowers, and is a most 
splendid plant.
