handsome flowers, about the size and somewhat of the shape of 

 the Solanum but in form of spikes, the leaves are from two to 

 three feet long and more than one foot broad, the plant has an 

 erect habit, and grows to seven feet in height. It is propagated 

 by seeds which are very minute, and should be repeatedly shifted 

 and sheltered, till they become large enough to remove to the 

 garden bed. 



Wood Sorrel. Vide Oxalis. 



Zinnia Compositce, Zinnia JElegans, Alba. Crocea and various 

 others, may be all sown at the commencement of the rains, either 

 separately or in beds. The flowers are pretty and ornamental, 

 and require very little care : the seed as it falls, springs up 

 immediately, and from its profusion, almost becomes a weed in 

 the garden.
