 The yellow and the white Jasmine (Jaimihum fntlicans 

 and officiiuk) are well known plants. Three species 

 of Atragete arc now cultivated ; the Austrian (A. au*- 

 iriaca), the Siberian (.-/. Sibirica}, and the American 

 Imfricu'ia] : the two former were long confounded 

 under the iur alpina ; they resemble each 



other, but the Austrian conies into leaf and flower two 

 months before the other ; the American species is also 

 early. Several kinds of Of ma/it or Ixjwer 



are highly ornamental, particularly the purple ( ! . ttt.- 

 crlla), and the double-Howered variety of it, with reel 

 and blue varieties of die single; the Virginian ('

 lives of the south of Europe now inhabit our borders ; 

 such are, Jupiter's-beard, Anthyllis barba Jovis; Coro- 

 nilla glauca ; and Moon trefoil, Medicago arborea. Two 

 specius of Leptospern.um or South Sea myrtle, L. ju- 

 nipennuin and baccatum, succeed in the milckr parts 

 of England, if trained against a wall ; and Metro^ide- 

 ros lanceolata, likewise from New South Wales, has al- 

 ready been noticed as trained on the open wall in the 

 College Botanic Garden at Dublin, 23. Khanmus 

 glauduloius from Madeira, is an addition to our ever- 

 greens. Some perennial species of Convohulut, for- 

 merly accounted tender, are now trained against the 

 border walls ; particularly C. bryoniaefolius from Chi- 

 na, and C. altharoides from the Levant. Of the com- 

 mon myrtle ( Mi/rtut ccmmunis) there are several varie- 

 ties, some of which are more hardy titan others : a sin- 

 gle-flowered sort, resembling the double-flowered, but 

 with narrower leaves than the Dutch broad- leaved, is 

 t hardy ; and a variety of the narrow -leaved. 

 called the bird's-nest myrtle, seems also to be more 

 hardy than the Dutch broad-leaved kind. 



Framed Dordcrt. 



530. They who are curious in flowers frequently ?"?*'* 

 have a border.covered with glazed frames, which can CIt ~ 

 be easily remo\ ed during the warm season of the % 

 from the middle of June to September. Many plants, 

 particularly of the bulbous kind, grow much bt-Urr 



planted in a large border than when confined to 

 flower- pots. Bulbs in general require a deep soil ; for 

 they commonly send their fibrous roots, liy hich they 

 draw their nourishment, to a considerable ilt ;>th in the 

 earth. Some of the bulbous plants which succeed well 

 in such covered borders are, several species of Izia, 

 of African Gladiolus, cf Hu manthus or blot d-flower; 

 and the Tigridia pavonia, or 1Y equally re- 



markable for iti gorgeous beauty and iti transitory na* 

 ture. Tuberotes (I'lit^antfie* luberota), alter having 

 been festered on a Might hot-bed, may be sunk in pots in 

 a framed botdir, in older to their flow in. S i ral 

 species of the splendid genus Amaryllit might be ad- 

 ded to the list, particularly the Belladonna fily (A. Lcl- 

 ladotna), the Jacobea lily (A.foimMitiima), and the 

 Guernsey lily (A. Suntieniit). < _ this last, it 



may be observed, that a few plants only c-iit be expect- 



ilower every year; for, as noticed l>y Miller, the 

 same plant does not flower in two succr<site yean, nor 

 probably till after the lapse of -oi-r.il year*. l)i

 men of London, and by them <!i-tril>uted through Bri- 

 tain. Miller ha* justly remarked, that this lily may 

 more properly be cultivated in a bed on a south border 

 than in ]>ut<> ; it is therefore peculiarly well adapted to 

 the framed border. For the soil, he recommends a 

 third part fresh earth from come light pasture ground , 

 aU>ut an equal part of sea-sand; and the remaining 

 third to be composed equally of rotten dung and sift- 

 cd lime-rubbish.
