galli and Laurifolia are from Brazil. Both succeed well 
planted out in a warm situation in the open border, pro- 
ducing flowers in the greatest abundance. They require 
considerable room, being rank growers. As a shrub for 
the lawn they have few if any superiors, their showy 
flowers contrasting finely with their bright glossy foliage. 
Hendersonii, a variety of recent introduction, is one of 
the very finest flowers, a bright scarlet, smaller than the 
other species, but produced in greater abundanee. As it 
flowers earlier it seeds freely, so that it can be grown as 
an annual plant. The only care required is to take the 
plants up, after the tops are killed by frost, and keep 
them through the Winter in a warm dry room or in the 
cellar. 'The roots should be kept covered wity dry sand. 
In Spring cut well back before planting out. They are 
readily propagated by cuttings of the tender shoots, or 
from seed, which should be sown in boxes about the first 
of Snir “and they will make flowering ese the 
poraing Summer. 
CAMPANULA. 
RY extensive and well-known eatin cosets of

are dwarf plants, producing a profusion of flowers, which 
renders them particularly adapted for rock-work or grow- 
ing in pots. Pyramidalis is a tall-growing variety, at. 
one time a very pepular plant, and some of the old gar- 
deners still cling to it with a peculiar fondness, - When 
grown in pots it will require frequent repotting, which. 
will bring it to an enormous size. When well grown_it
