KJEINTNTEDYA.. Nat. Ord., Leguminosa. 



These climbers are among the most striking of greenhouse ornaments, and deserve more 

 extensive cultivation than has hitherto been extended to them, as few plants are more ser- 

 viceable for greenhouse decoration. Their bright colors impart a most cheerful appearance 

 during the early part of the season ; and, if trained round fanciful wire shapes, a peculiarly 

 interesting effect is produced. Steep the seed in warm water for six hours before sowing. 

 Greenliouse shrub.

A remarkably handsome ftiee-flowering genus of plants, with brilliantly colored flowers 

 constantly changing in hue ; very effective either for pot-culture, or for bedding purposes 

 when planted out, except in dry soil. The plants will bloom more profusely, if retained in 

 their pots, and plunged where mtended to flower.

T > A "F?,TC WF*TTTg. (Delphinum). Nat. Ord., Ranunculacete. 



One of the generally cultivated and ornamental genus of plants, combining unusual rich- 

 ness with an endless variety of colors, all of which are extremely beautiful and pleasing. 

 The flowers are produced in the gneatest profusion ; and the plants, in beds, masses, or rib- 

 bons, are strikingly effective : indeed, few plants are so generally useful and valuable for 

 their decorative qualities, either in the garden or when cut for vases. The great difficulty 

 has hitherto been the procuring of seeds which would yield double flowers. To this object 

 we have given special attention, and now offer seed saved only from such varieties as are 

 really to be dej^ended upon, and worthy of a place in every garden. For the guidance of 

 amateurs, we may simply notice that the stock-flowered Larkspur is of the same habit as the 

 old Dwarf Rocket, but has longer spikes, and much larger and more double flowers; the 

 tall stock-flowered variety is the same style as the branching, but with more compact spikes, 

 and larger and more double flowers. The tall-growing varieties scattered in shrubbery-bor- 

 ders produce a charming effect when backed by green foliage of the shrubs. Hardy 

 annuals.
