 that are neat little plants, and are worthy of a situation, 

 viz. S. grandiflbrus, S. venustus, and S. cinerdscens, with 

 the double white and red variety of S. elegans. The 

 two last varieties are free flowering, but if allowed to 

 grow several years, they become unsightly. Being very 

 easily propagated, a few cuttings of them should be put 

 in, in September, and in two weeks they will strike root,

 the hot sun.

 are of easy culture, and deserving of a situation; the 

 foliage is pinnate ; leaflets ovate, acute.
