A VALUABLE BEGONIA. 



Begonia semperflorens giganiea car- 

 minata, though decidedly handicapped 

 by such a cumbersome name; is a very 

 desirable one, and for flowering from 

 early spring onwards, it is very useful, 

 and particularly valuable for the em- 

 bellishment of the greenhouse and con- 

 servatory. It is by no means a novelty, 

 having been introduced some years ago, 

 and, although for sonre time very pop- 

 ular, it was gradually dropping out of 

 cultivation till two or three years since, 

 when somewhat of a revival in its fa- 

 vor set in. We are indebted for this 

 variety to M. Lemoine, who obtained it 

 by inter-crossing the well-known Be- 

 gonia semperflorens with B. Lyncheana, 

 which, when first introduced from Mex- 

 ico, a little over twenty years ago, was 

 known as B. Boezli. This was a tall- 

 growing species that naturally formed 

 what is termed a leggy plant, for, even 

 if pinched when young, branches were 

 produced but sparingly. The clusters 

 of flowers were, however, very bright, 

 and by inter-crossing with B. semper- 

 florens this gigantea section originated. 

 It is of bold, free growth, with hand- 

 some leafage, while the flowers, borne 

 in large clusters well overtopping the 

 foliage, are of a bright carmine rose 

 tint, and the flower stems are also col- 

 ored. If stopped once or twice this 

 begonia forms a good, moderately 

 bushy specimen, but this pinching must 

 not be carried to excess, as the broad 

 clusters of blossoms are seen at their 

 best on stout, vigorous shoots. Given 

 a few large established plants they will 

 flower more or less throughout the 

 greater part of the year. They should, 

 to maintain them in a progressive 

 state, receive weak liquid manure occa- 

 sionally. — Gardeners' Magazine. 



INCARVILLEA DELAVAYL 



Hardy herbaceous plants received a 

 valuable addition to their numbers by the 

 introduction of IncarviUea Delavayi a 

 few years ago. The leaves are all radi- 

 cal, from twelve to eighteen inches long 

 and pinnatifid. The flower spikes rise 

 to a height of from two feet to two and 

 a half feet, and produce about a dozen 

 rose-colored, gloxinia-like blooms, two 

 and a half inches in diameter near the 

 top, and that expand in May and June. 

 Well established plants throw up several 

 spikes of bloom annually. The flowers, 

 cut in the spike, stand well indoors, and 

 are useful for filling fairly large vas*. 

 It is evidently not partial to any soil, 

 but the best plants I have seen were 

 growing in a porous, sandy loam. A too 

 rich, or a very poor soil, should not be 

 employed for its cultivation, as the form- 

 er fosters rank succulent growth, render- 

 ing the plant less able to withstand the 

 rigors of some of our severe winters in 

 the more exposed and colder localities. 

 A poor soil on the other hand will only 

 enable the plant to exist. IncarviUea 

 Delavayi is an exceUent subject for 

 massing in the herbaceous border, as its 

 bright rose-colored flowers stand well 

 above the foliage, and give a telling ef- 

 fect, even from a distance. This Incar- 

 viUea should be included in every collec- 

 tion of hardy plants, be the collection 

 ever so smaU, and, especially, if the finer 

 things are desired. — Gardeners' Maga- 

 zine.
