in bloom from May to October. 327 



turn, roseum and digitalis, Potentilla nepalensis, atrosangiiinea, 

 Russelh'dna and May idna; Tormentilla reptans, flore pleno; 

 this is a charming little plant for rock work: Ferbascum pyramida- 

 lis, Celsifi cretica, Aconitumnapellus, Halleri and albidum, Geum 

 coccineum, .^sclepias tuberosa, Digitalis lutea and the common 

 purple and white, Lysimachia vulgaris and quadrilolia, Prenan- 

 thes integrifoha, Monarda purpurea, /Statice Gmelina, Lathyrus 

 grandiflorus, Lychnis chalcedonica var. pleno albo and pi. coc- 

 cinea and L. grandiflora, Cimicifuga fos^tida, Eschscholtzm cali- 

 fornica, O'xalis Deppei, Lupinus polyphyllus, sweet-williams, 

 holyhocks, pinks of all kinds, &.c. The following kinds of lilies 

 are in full bloom this month: — Lilium candidum, longiflorum, 

 japonicum, bulbiferum, spectabile, concolor: Gladiolus natalen- 

 sis and byzantium also bloon» finely this month, if planted in the 

 autumn. They are perfectly hardy. 



The plants wintered in frames, and turned out into the borders 

 as recommended, in the month of May, will now be in full bloom; 

 such as Ferbena chamaedrifolia, JUimulus roseus, Commelina 

 tuberosa, and coslestis, >Senecio elegans, red and white double- 

 flowered; >Salvia Graham?', Calendrinia grandiflora, Pyrethrum 

 parthenium, stocks, calceolarias, fuchsias, anagallises, petunias, 

 schizanthuses, chrysanthemums, sweet scabiouses, &c. 



Among the annuals, the candy-tuft is beautiful, when planted 

 in large patches ; the sweet-alyssum is very delicate, and forms a 

 pretty companion to the former, and is valuable for its fragrance. 

 The eschscholtzias will be now in full flower: we do not know 

 of a more splendid ornament to the flower border than the E. 

 crocea. It is yet rare; but as it seeds freely, we hope it will be- 

 come more common by another season. We have had single 

 plants this year, which have covered a piece of ground a yard 

 across, that were, in the middle of the day, one mass of rich 

 orange colored blossoms. That charming little annual, the Gilia 

 tricolor, now begins to bloom: it should be in every garden. 



Among the running plants, Maurandya Barclaydwa Lophos- 

 permum erubescens, CobceVi ^scandens, Calampelis scabra, and 

 the new dark nasturtium, if kept over the winter and turned out, 

 will now flower abundantly. In large gardens a greater number 

 can be admitted; but these are such as are desirable in choice 

 collections.
