32 BRACHYCOME 



BRACHYCO'ME continued. 



B. Sindair'i is a dwarf species with small daisy- 

 like flowers, sometimes sowing itself in light 

 soil. 



Requires only simple culture. Sow on light 

 hotbed in March or April, \ in. deep in shallow 

 boxes of light soil in temp. 55, and transplant 

 seedlings outdoors in May, or later, about 6 ins. 

 apart; or they may be sown in the open where 

 they are to grow in April. Ordinary soil on warm 

 sunny border. As the stems are extremely slender, 

 it is an excellent plan to give a little support by 

 putting in a few slender birch twigs cut from an 

 old worn-out besom; otherwise a heavy rainstorm 

 dashes the flowers level with the ground.

BROWAL'LIA (from J. Browall (1707-1755), bishop of 

 Abo, in Finland). Nat. Ord. Scrophulariacece. 



The Browallias are more often seen in green- 

 houses than outdoors, as they make lovely pot 

 plants, but in a warm spot they will thrive well 

 during the summer months when planted out in 

 beds or batches in the border. The verbena-like 

 flowers are very attractive and useful for cutting.
