INCARVILLEA. 



Hardy annual and perennial herbs (ord. Bigno- 

 niuceic), requiring oiireful treatment, as several of 

 them have not yet been properly tested as to hardi- 

 ness. Flowers rose, purple, or scarlet, funnel-shaped 

 or tubular. 1'ropagat ion, by seeds in a hotbed in 

 March; also by division of the tufts or crowns, 

 carefully effected so as not to destroy the crowns. 

 An old knife is the best tool with which to divide 

 them. The soil must be well drained, and light, 

 but withal fertile, so as to" encourage good growth 

 while guarding against damping in winter. Most 

 of them may be sheltered by planting them at the 

 foot of walls, and Delavayi may have its crowns 

 covered with ashes in winter when in exposed 

 positions, such as on the rockery or herbaceous 

 border. It is worthy of this attention, as it is the 

 showiest species when strongly grown.

Soil. Any good garden soil will suit the hardy 



i'i'ir-.. liiilufii should be sown or planted on the 

 margins of lakes, ponds, and streams. For stove 

 species in pots use turfy loam, leaf soil, and sand, 

 with plenty of well-rotted cow manure for the 

 flowering pots. 



Other Cultural Points. Sultani, platypetala, 

 flaccida, and others of that class may be planted in 

 well-lighted borders in the greenhouse or conserv- 

 atory. Hookeri is difficult to flower.

INDIGOFERA. 



A large genus (ord. Leguminosse) of stove, green- 

 house, and hardy trees, sub-shrubs, and herbs, 

 mostly African. Several of the species yield the 

 well-known dye, indigo. Propagation, by seeds, 

 sown when ripe in heat according to Mte, character 

 of the species ; also by cuttings-of the young shoots 

 inserted in sandy soil, an}' time during the summer. 

 Soil, turfy loam, chopped but not sifted, two parts, 

 leaf mould one part, with sand, and, for the stove 

 species, a few pieces of charcoal. Decora is a 

 pretty greenhouse shrub that flowers freely in 

 summer if the previous year's growth be well 

 ripened. It requires a rest in winter, and cutting 

 back after flowering. Gerardiana does well in the 

 open shrubbery, and better still on walls.

INGA. 



Stove trees and shrubs (urd. Leguminosa)), of 

 which very few are in cultivation, although there 

 are upwards of 140 species. Propagation, by cut- 

 tings of the young shoots, taken in spring or early 

 summer, and rooted in sandy soil, in a close frame, 

 with bottom heat. Peat and loam in equal parts, 

 with plenty of sand, suit. A good deal of water 

 is needed in the growing season ; little in winter.
