LEWISIA TWEEDYI. 



This plant is to be numbered among 

 the most attractive of recent introduc- 

 tions,- says a writer in an English con- 

 temporary. It has all the good attri- 

 butes of the best alpine, and possesses 

 the finest flowers of a naturally showy 

 race. It is a Californian plant that 

 grows wild under conditions that are 

 alpine, on the one hand, and partaking 

 of those of the desert on the other, inso- 

 much that cultivation, as we understand 

 it, is more likely to do harm than good. 



It forms a flattened, leafy rosette, in 

 some measure like that of Echeveria met- 

 allica, and averaging six inches across. 

 The flowers are produced in dozens from 

 the leaf axils, and are held nearly erect, 

 are multipetaled, fleshy, and funnel- 

 shaped, whilst the color scheme is apri- 

 cot mainly, but later rose and purple 

 struggle for place till the flower fades. 

 It is a beautiful plant in flower, and 

 quite distinct from any other. 



Under cultivation one could select for 

 it a sheltered recess in rockwork, and 

 plant it in a rift or seam between boul- 

 ders, laying its roots back into soil and 

 rock chippings as far as they will go. 

 It cannot have too much solar heat, but 

 it can have too much moisture, and the 

 position noted is probably the best that 

 can be given it. 



An importation from California of 

 many adult specimens showed clearly the 

 conditions under which the plants grow. 

 The roots were exact copies of the larg- 

 est dock roots ever dug — nearly a yard in 

 length, and they bore the impress of rock 

 chips and stout yellow loam very plainly. 

 The size of root and leaf, and the num- 

 ber of old flower stems these imported 

 roots carried showed that this lewisia has 

 not been seen under cultivation in half 

 its real strength and capabilities of 

 flower production. 



The Review is full of valuable infor- 

 mation. In fact, it is the best florists' 

 paper I have ever read. I would not be 

 without it for ten times its cost. — Geo. 

 Fauth, Woodlawn, Md.
