 feet, is most remarkable : the plant grew in the open border. — See other remarks on this order in

 The latter is perhaps perfectly hardy, and produces its beautiful deep lilac (purple, as some would 

 call them) blossoms from May to October. A desirable plant, and easy of cultivation, it is presumed 

 to have been originated between L. syphilitica and either fulgens, cardinklis, or splendens.

 than marked above : it is an eligible plant for decorating the hardy flower-garden during summer.

" The flowers of this very pretty species were slowly developed, remained long expanded, and 

 appeared on one raceme in succession during the whole month of November. Other racemes are now 

 (Dec. 10. 1831) beginning to appear ; so that I doubt not the plant will be a great ornament to the green- 

 house during the whole winter." [Graham in Edin. Phil. Jour. 1832, p. 187.)

A Peruvian genus of syngenesious plants, with rosy marginal florets. Very interesting plants to 



botanists, but scarcely sufficiently ornamental for those who regard flowers only for their splendour. 



The blossoms produced in autumn are endowed with a high degree of hawthorn-like fragrance.

Georginas " enrich autumn with a splendour which rivals June, with its pyramids of roses and mid. 

 summer gaieties." — Maiind. 



Among georginas two varieties of great interest are expected to be much in request in the ensuing 

 spring; one, the King of the Whites, was imported in 18^0, and has excellent properties ; the principal 

 of which are, the purity of its white, and the earliness and abundance of its blossoms, which are well 

 displayed above the herbage : its height is about 4 ft. The 2d (raised in 1830) is Miss Wright, so denomin- 

 ated in compliment to the American authoress of this name by the Conductor, who was requested to name 

 the flower by the possessor of the stock, Mr. Michael Brewer, Cambridge, who rai.sed the Cambridge .Sur- 

 prise. The Miss Wright georgina is a delicate and distinct flower, of medium size, possessing consider- 

 able depth and fulness of petals, which are elegantly quilled, and of an exquisite rose colour. Some 

 interesting facts on the variableness of georginas from seeds are stated in p. 47. ; and though the amount
