A genus of the most beautiful, free-flowering plants, amongst which stands, distinguished 

 for its brilliant-colored flowers, Linum Grandiflorum Coccineum, being one of the hand- 

 somest, most effective, and showy bedding-plants we have ; for, whilst its habit of growth is 

 slender and delicate, it produces a profusion of beautiful, saucer-shaped flowers, of a rich

 genus deserves general cultivation. Most of the varieties make nice pot-plants.
