N. gracilis, flowers blue and white. N. grandiflora, pure 

 white, very large. 



SALVIAS are indispensable for autumn bloom : the two 

 best are those we have before described S. splendens? 

 with scarlet, and S. patens, with blue flowers. 



TKITOMA UVAKIA is a stately-growing plant, with reedy 

 leaves, throwing up a tall spike of crimson orange flowers. 

 It must be preserved in the cellar in winter. The variety 

 Glaucescens is not so highly colored, and Serotina blooms 

 late into the autumn. 



In addition to these, the various kinds of Carnation and 

 Picotee Pinks, Tea Roses, Pansies, Daisies, Ageratum, 

 Lychnis, Bouvardias, Anterrhinums, Gaillardia, Lemon 

 Verbena, and Lobelia, can generally be obtained at the 

 green-houses. All these make good summer-blooming 

 plants.
