close to the root, except there is a young shoot arising tp 

 carry off the superabundan sap, for the old woo! will not 

 push, which will soon cause i mortification. 



The best method to adopt in such a case is, to turn back 

 a shoot, and lay it in the ground to root, when it will be- 

 come a young plant, which should always be done as soon 

 as it appears unsightly. It does best to be planted in the 

 ground, but will not give any satisfaction as to flowering in 

 a pot. It will flower as an annual if sown in pots this month, 

 and placed in a warm room or hot-bed, and planted into the 

 garden about the middle of May; it seeds freely. (Soil No. 



Coronilla, a very few are fine species in the green-house. 

 C. glaiica is a celebrated plant among us, as a free and early 

 flowering shrub. G. valentiana, and C. vimindlis, are equally 

 bo ; flower from April to June, colour yellow ; papilionaceous 

 flowers in clusters ; agree best in summer with partial shade 

 Drain the pots well. (Soil No. 12.) 



Gorrea, five species and several varieties, all very pretty 

 dwarf shrubs, and flower profusely; foliage ovate, cordate, 

 and either rusty or downy beneath. 0. alba, and G ni/a, 

 have both white flowers a little tubular. G. pulchella is 

 a very handsome, erect-growing plant ; flowers large and 

 tubular, of a bright red colour, and grows freely. G. specidsa 

 has been long admired as a splendid free-flowering plant ; 

 flowers same shape as G. pulchella, but more elongated ; 

 colour red and yellowish-green. G virens is a very free 

 grower, flowers same shape as the last two, colour entirely 

 green; G. multiflora, red G. bicolor, green and white 

 G. Harrisii, spotted. They are abundant flowerers, when the 

 plants are well established ; having a continued succession 

 from November to June, possessing the valuable requisite 

 of flowering through the winter, and ought to be in every 

 collection. They require an airy situation, and the pots to 

 be well drained. The plants in summer must not be fully 

 exposed to the sun. (Soil No. 6.) 



Grdssula. This genus has now no plant in it attractive in 

 beauty. Several beautiful plants in our collections belong to 

 Rochea and Kalosdnthus. There is a strong-growing succu- 

 lent plant, known in our collections as G. falcdta, which is R. 

 falcdta. It seldom flowers; the minor variety blooms pro- 

 fusely every year from Maj t s August, and has showy scarlet
