180 Orname)ital Annual Ciiinbiyig Flowers. 



if the season is advanced so that there is no danger from 

 frost, they may at once be turned out into the border. They 

 j^ will require some kind of support 



as the new shoots extend, and in 

 August and September the plants 

 will bloom abundantly, displaying 

 their deep orange flowers, which 

 have a lively appearance, inter- 

 mixed with the maurandya, &c. 

 As a pot plant, the calampelis pos- 

 sesses much value; during April 

 and May it will flower freely in 

 the greenhouse, and when set out 

 in the open garden in May, it will 

 continue to Throw out its beautiful 

 flowers all the season. 



Fumaria capreoldta (sometimes 

 called Mountain Fringe). This 

 Calampelis scabra. ^^^^-^^^ of Fumaria is a dclicate 



and pretty climber, with finely divided leaves and clusters

 grows and runs freely side of a fence or trellis, and attains 

 the height of eight or ten feet. The seeds may be sown at 

 any time in May, in the open ground. 



Cobce'a scandens is sometimes treated as an annual; but 

 it is such a robust grower, that unless the seeds are planted 

 in March or April, and the plants brought forward rapidly, 

 it rarely flowers in sufficient abundance to pay for the la- 

 bor. Those who wish to try it, should plant the seeds in 

 early, in a hotbed, and prick out the plants into small 

 pots, shifting them occasionally, till the weather is suffi- 

 ciently mild to turn them out into the border. 



Locisa aiiranliaca is a handsome plant, with large dark- 

 red flowers, and curiously twisted capsules, growing to the 

 height of six or eight feet. It is a native of South Ameri- 

 ca, and was sent to England by Mr. Tweedie in 1836. 

 The seeds should be sown in a hotbed, and the young plants 

 removed in May to the open border. The only objection 

 to the general introduction of this plant to our gardens, is the
