L. Uen'nis is a well-known biennial plant that is 

 never out of place on the margin of a partially 

 shaded shrubbery, the flowers, which bloom in 

 May to July, being succeeded in autumn by a 

 crop of large, flat, oval, satiny seed-pods, which 

 are generally saved, cleaned, and used for 

 ornamental purposes in the house during 

 winter, in conjunction with Cape Gooseberry. 

 (Physalis). Syn., L. arinua. 



The flowers, usually of a light purple colour, 

 are borne at the end of small branches all the way 

 up, the topmost reaching about 2 ft. Besides the 

 purple type there is a white form, and latterly, a 

 crimson one has been produced. Native of Europe, 

 1570. 



The seeds may be sown ^ in. deep in April and 

 subsequently thinned out to 6 ins., or else trans- 

 planted to flowering quarters for the following 

 spring.
