neat leaves, make them attractive in borders, 

 shrubberies, or rock gardens. The perennials are 

 propagated by division after flowering, or by 

 seeds ; the annuals by seeds. All will do well in. 

 ordinary garden soil, but the early perennial 

 species like a peaty one. A sunny position should 

 he chosen. Seeds" of the perennials often germ- 

 inate very slowly, nnd should not be despaired of 

 for a year or more after sowing. 



Principal Species : 



festivalis, 1', Je., ann., crim. 



amurensis, 1', yel. or wh. One of the earliest o 

 our hdy. flowers ; useful also for a cold house. 



pyrenaica, Ij', Je., ,Jy., yel. A very beautiful 

 plant, unique at its season. Flowers not so fine as 

 those of vernalis. 



vernalis, 1' or less, Mch., yel. One of our most 

 beautiful spring flowers. It should never suffer 

 from drought, although it ought to have sun at its 

 flowering time. A large-flowered variety some- 

 times known as sibirica is even better.

ADOXA. 



Hardy herbaceous and tuberous-rooted plant 

 (ord. Caprifoliacepe), will grow under the shade of 

 trees. Increased by division. Flowers and leaves are 

 too alike in colour for the former to be con- 

 spicuous. 



Principal Species : 



Moschatellina, 1', Ap., grn. yel. 



ADINA. 



A small genus of cool stove plants (ord. Kubi- 

 aceac), needing rich, loamy soil, and propagation 

 by cuttings. 



Principal Species : 



globiflora, 'A' to 4', Jy., cream (syn. Nauclia). 



ADINANDRA. 



Evergreen stove trees or shrubs (ord. Ternstrce- 

 miaceiE), of very little horticultural value. The 

 principal species is dumosa, 10', June, silky. 



ADLUMIA. 



Hardy herbaceous climber (nrd. Fumariacere), 

 succeeding in any good garden soil , propagated 

 by seeds sown in a shady situation, where there is 

 ample moisture. 



Only Species : 



cirrhosa, 15', Aug., wh. 



ADONIS. 



Showy hardy perennials or annuals (ord. Uaniin- 

 culaceje). the former being particularly fine. The 

 flowers are effective, and, combined with their 



Pltoto: D, S. Fish, Edinlmrrili. 



ADONIS VERXALIS. 



^ECHMEA. 



Handsome herbaceous perennials (ord. Brome- 

 liaceae), requiring the temperature of a stove.
