It is a native of Chili. It will not bear the open air in 

 this country, and in the winter must be kept in a warm in- 

 habited room ; for it is commonly treated as a stove-plant.

THE Red Canadian Fumitory is a handsome plant with 

 large flowers. The Evergreen Fumitory has purple 

 flowers, which bloom all the summer: it is a' native of 

 North America. They may be sown in the autumn ; two 

 or three seeds in a pot eight inches wide ; and watered

 decayed. 



The Great-flowered Siberian, with white and yellow

 with purple, blush-coloured, or white flowers, may also 

 be increased by offsets. The time to transplant these is 

 between May and August (inclusive), as the leaves die off.
