This is a pleasing little herbaceous plant, 
a native of the mountains of Scotland and 
most of the northern parts of Europe. With 
us it flowers in May and June, andis easily 
cultivated in a small pot in light loam, re- 
quiring no sort of protection in any season.

of their flowers, which in the greater number 
of kinds are yellow, some few only being 
white, ;
