 and more sunshine than are to be found generally in town gardens. The 

 Californian annuals, however, and some other kinds, maj' be sown in autuiDii 

 to flower in early spring. Tlie following is a list of annuals, principally 

 from California and South America, which may be treated in this manner : 



Nemophila insignis, blue. 



N. atomaria, white. 



N. discoidalis, blackish with a white margin. 



N. maculata, white with purple spots. 



Eschscholtzia Califdrnica, yellow. 



E. crbcea, orange. 



E. compacta, yellow.

C. p. fibre albo, white. 



C. elegans, red.

Collinsia bicolor, lilac and white. 



Leptosiphon, several species, blue and white 

 and pink. 



Callidpsis tinctbria, and varieties. 



Malope trifida. 



Viscaria oculata. 



Sweet peas, convolvuluses of differi/nt kinds, 

 and the common nasturtium ('I'ropfeVlum

 Tropse^olum peregrinum(Canary-bird flower). Maurandya Barclayana.

To these may be added, Thunbergia alata, Ipomoe'a riibro-caerulea, and 

 several other showy plants, which require a hot-bed to i-aise them, but which 

 will grow and flower freely in the open air during the summer. Eccremo- 

 carpus scaber may be raised from seed, and will flower the first year, but if 

 protected from frost, it will live several years.
