The Geranium which first became familiar to us, that 

 with plain red flowers, is still, and deservedly, a favourite. 

 It may be brought to grow very large by care and atten- 

 tion, and bears an abundance of blossoms. Cowper speaks 

 of it, in describing the inhabitants of the greenhouse : 



" Geranium boasts 



Her crimson honours." 



Mrs. Charlotte Smith, in her Conversations on Natural 

 History, introduces some lines to a Geranium, which had 

 been carefully nursed. 



GERMANDER. 



TEUCRIUM. 



LABIATE. DIDYNAMIA GYMNOSPERMIA.

 select a few of the most desirable ; as, 



1. The Many-flowered ; red flowers ; native 



of Spain. 



2. The Canadian ; yellow ; blowing in August and September. 



3. The Virginian ; red ; July and August.
