102 EUCHARIDIUM 



EUCHARI'DIUM continued. 



Lovely little hardy annuals, closely allied to 

 Clarkia, native of California, and flowering a few 

 weeks after sowing. 



There are only three species, with a few garden 

 varieties, none of which exceed 1 ft. in height. 

 Plant in masses in the mixed border. 



K Brew'eri. Height 8 ins. A tufted little plant 

 with deep reddish -purple flowers with white 

 centres. The best of this group. 



E. concin'num. Height 9 ins. Has deeply cut 

 bright rose-coloured flowers resembling a 

 prostrate plant of Clarkia. 1836. 



E. grandifloi^um. Height 1 ft. Kose - purple 

 flowers with white streaks. Not quite as 

 hardy or rich in colour as the first one. 



E. grandiflor^um al'bum. A white variety of the 



above. 

 E. grandiflor^um rose'um. A pink variety. 



Sow seeds in the border in August or September 

 TS- in. deep for early flowering the following year, 

 or March and April for midsummer, or June for 

 autumn flowering. Thin out to 2 or 3 ins. apart as 

 soon as large enough to handle. Soil ordinary. 

 Position sunny. The autumn sown plants are the 

 more robust.
