 hocks, salvias, pinks, &c. Of bulbous roots, Gladiolus natalen- 

 sis, Lilium canadense and tigrinum, and Tigridia pavonia and 

 conchiflora are now in full bloom. 



The annuals will be now mostly in flower, and will be a fine 

 addition to the borders, particularly the double asters, new scar- 

 let zinnia, new long-spiked amaranthus, &.c. The new scarlet 

 zinnia is exceedingly showy; among the annuals, the yellow 

 sweet sultan is particularly deserving of notice: its blossoms are 

 of a pure yellow, and exquisitely handsome. Lobelia bicolor 

 and Clintom'a elegans, somewhat similar in appearance, are 

 charming plants, and form briUiant little patches of silver and 

 blue when planted in a light rich soil. 



For covering fences, and hiding disagreeable objects from the 

 garden, we do not know of a better plant than the Clematis vir- 

 giniana; though indigenous to our woods in the vicinity, yet it is 

 particularly deserving of introduction into every garden for the 

 object just mentioned; they are not only pretty, but the feathery 

 appearance of the seeds is highly ornamental until the vines are 

 killed by the chilling frosts of winter. 



Bignonia radicans must be protected during winter, or the 

 shoots will, generally, be so much injured from the cold that they 

 will not produce bloom.
