THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 



SOLA.NUM PSEUDOCAPSICUM. 



[HE large-berried varieties of Solarium pseudocapsicum 

 are invaluable for conservatory and sideboard decora- 

 tion in the late autumn and winter months. Few culti- 

 Tat.irs do justice to these plants, aud hence we rarely 

 see such dense, well-berried, and symmetrical plants as 

 the one here figured. The principal secret in the management is to 

 plant them out early in May in a sunny spot, in light rich soil, and 



encourage early growth by means of regular supplies of water. They 

 may be once stopped in June. In October they must be taken up 

 and carefully potted, and put into the greenhouse to ripen the 

 berries.
