DELPHINIUM CHINENSE. 
Class. Order. 
POLYANDRIA TRIGYNIA. 
This has been lately introduced into this 
country from the continent, andis areputed 
native of China. We raised it two years 
since from seeds, received from the Berlin 
Garden. Itappears to be a perennial, and 
guite hardy. Some of our plants flowered 
late the first year; but much stronger since. 
The blossoms being large, and the stem ra- 
ther slender, it should be supported by a 
stick, to preserve it from the effects of winds. 
It does not appear to divide much at the 
root; but is likely to be increased pretty 
freely by seeds, which will ripen very well 
here. It may either be kept in a pot in light 
loam, in which state it flowers beautifully, 
about a foot high; or planted in the ground, 
where it will attaina much larger growth.
