The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



May 3, 1906. 



BROWALLIA SPECIOSA MAJOR. 



This browallia has decided attractions 

 over its congeners, chiefly on account of 

 its more robust habit and its larger 

 blue flowers, which are produced in great 

 profusion. When massed by themselves, 

 and upon diiferent planes to form a 

 bank, the whole presenting one mass of 

 violet-blue flowers amid a setting of 

 deep green, shining foliage, the effect 

 is excellent, indeed. 



The cultural requirements are of the 

 most simple character. Cuttings in- 

 ^serted in March form roots readily. The 

 plants are also easily raised from seeds, 

 a method of propagation I prefer, as 

 the seedlings grow with greater free- 

 dom and are not so addicted to flower 

 during their early period of growth as 

 those raised from cuttings. It is essen- 

 tial, whichever method of propagation 

 be followed, to pinch the tips of the 

 young growths several times during the 

 plant's development in order to pro- 

 mote a bushy, instead of a scandent, 

 growth. 



After hardening the plants, they 

 should be finally potted, using ordinary 

 but fairly rich soil. Copious syringings 

 of clear water should be afforded in 

 order to keep down red spider, to which 

 pest the plants are very liable. 



They are useful for decorative work 

 and remain for a considerable time in 

 good condition. When used for decora- 

 tive purposes, and in circumstances 

 which do not permit of their being 

 changed for a lengthened period, they 

 may become somewhat thin and leggy 

 through loss of foliage. However, they 

 soon recover if placed in a warm at- 

 mosphere, but the growths should be 

 shortened a few inches, and by the fol- 

 lowing spring they will again form use- 

 ful and serviceable plants. — Gardeners'
