OXALIS ENNEAPHYLLA. 



Although the handsome Oxalis ennea- 

 phylla was introduced to cultivation up- 

 wards of thirty years ago, it has ngt 

 long been available to the purchaser of 

 such plants, and hence it is but little 

 seen in gardens, says a writer in an Eng- 

 lish Gardeners ' Magazine. It is, however, 

 well known to those who have made a 

 specialty of alpine and other hardy flow- 

 ers, and some who have had it have found 

 some diflSculty in its cultivation. It is per- 

 fectly hardy, as one might expect from a 

 Fuegian plant, but in some places it ap- 

 pears to dwindle away, and to die out in 

 a few years. In a well-drained situation 

 on a rockery and with partial shade, it 

 thrives well, and for a considerable num- 

 ber of years I have experienced no diflS- 

 culty in its cultivation under these condi- 

 tions. Plenty of stones and grit in the 

 soil will be found beneficial, and a good 

 plant will well repay any little trouble its 

 requirements call for. 



From its creeping stipes arise a num- 

 ber of delicately red-tinted stalks, each 

 bearing a rosette of pretty gray-green 

 leaves, each elegantly divided, and clos- 

 ing partially towards evening, as is the 

 manner of the wood sorrels. Among 

 these leaves there rise other stalks, tinted 

 like those of the foliage, and carrying 

 handsome white or pale rosy-tinted flow- 

 ers of considerable size and with an al- 

 most satin-like luster. These only open 

 well in the sun, and thus their beauty is 

 more prolonged than if they were ex- 

 posed all day and night to the weather. 

 I have grown it in several positions, but 

 in all I find it flourishes best in partial 

 shade, either from higher rockwork be- 

 tween it and the sun, or with the partial 

 shade of some dwarf shrubs. It must be 

 added that, although this oxalis likes a 

 well-drained position, it objects to 

 drought, and water may be required in 

 dry seasons. It is one of my favorite al- 

 pines, and no one interested in such 

 flowers can pass it without unstinted ad- 

 miration of its beauties. 



ARALIA MOSERL 



In some of my market reports, says a 

 writer in the Horticultural Advertiser, 

 I have referred to Aralia Moseri, and 

 several growers have asked if it was 

 distinct from the ordinary Aralia 

 Sieboldi. It is a decided improvement 

 on the original type, the leaves being 

 broader, and, compared with the old 

 form, it is shorter jointed. Certainly 

 a great improvement in every way. I 

 may say here that many growers spoil 

 these useful plants by overcrowding and 

 keeping them too warm. With plenty 

 of room and light, a little warmth does 

 not do any harm; but I have seen many 

 instances where they have been spoiled 

 by overcrowding and too much warmth. 

 It is one of the plants which pays well 

 to grow in limited quantities and do 

 well. They should be potted in good 

 loam with some manure added. I have 

 kept seeds for some months, but they 

 are soft, and should, in the ordinary 

 way, be sown as soon as received. I 

 know of no other seed that perishes so 

 quickly under ordinary treatment. The 

 only way it can be kept, is in an air- 

 tight tin, with dry soil mixed with it. 

 I once kept some seed from April to 

 August, and it then germinated well, 

 but I have known many instances where 

 it has perished in a few weeks. It is 

 a plant always in demand, and has, to
