422 Jstotices of new and beautiful Plants 



Plants in flower in our garden Oct. 20th, in the open air, after 

 the severe frosts which occurred in ihe early part of the month 

 had almost destroyed vegetation. 



Ferbena Aubletia. We have noticed the great beauty of this 

 species several times. A large bed of plants was covered with 

 its beautiful heads of rosy-purple blossoms on the 20th of Oc- 

 tober. The foliage was not in the least injured. Its hardiness 

 is remarkable, and, for a late flowering plant, we know of none 

 more valuable. 



Ferbena chamaedrifolia. This charming and dazzling little 

 plant was also in full splendor. A large patch of it, all grown 

 from one small plant set out late in June, was thriving vigorously 

 and flowering in profusion. It is one of the latest plants de- 

 stroyed by the frost; and yet it can only with great difficulty be 

 kept through the winter in pots. 



jDelphinium Ajacis, or Rocket larkspur. One of the finest 

 of all annuals, and by timely sowings may be had in bloom from 

 May until November. A bed sown late in October or early 

 in November, will bloom superbly in May; one sown in April 

 will bloom in July; and one sown in July will bloom in October. 

 We have had plants with spikes of flowers eighteen inches in 

 length. Every person who has two foot square of ground, to 

 spare, should immediately, if not done before, plant it with the 

 seeds. 



ffinothera Lindleydna. This species is valuable for its pretty 

 flowers late in the season, as well as for its great abundance of 

 them during the whole of the summer. Several plants are finely 

 in bloom. 



Chryseis crocea (formerly Eschscholtzia,) is another elegant 

 plant after severe frosts; its brilliant safii'on blossoms were dis- 

 played in profusion at the above date. 



Gaillardm aristata and bicolor. Both fine perennials, flower- 

 ing from June to November. Plants kept well cut of old flow- 

 ers were exhibiting an abundance of handsome blossoms. 



Iberis (candy-tufts.) The common white and purple and the 

 new dark variety are each fine annuals, and when sown as recom- 

 mended for larkspurs, will bloom in great splendor throughout the 

 autumn, after the most severe frosts. One sowing affords but a 

 small quantity of bloom in comparison with what may be pro- 

 cured by planting three times. 



Leptosiphon densiflorus. An exquisite annual introduced this 

 year. It flowers early, and the plants continue to branch out 

 and display an abundance of blossoms until very late. It should 

 be generally grown next year. 



Convolvulus minor. If not sown too early, exceedingly fine 

 late in October. When sown in May the plants get too bushy
