 ticultural Soci- 

 ety. " A hardy 



annual, requiring no care in its cultivation ; 

 growing to the height of one and a half to two 

 feet, and producing its singular bright rose-co- 

 loured blossoms from May to September. Whe- 

 ther we consider the facility with which it can 

 be managed, the curious and very unusual con- 

 formation of the petals, stamens, and stigma, 

 or the brilliancy of its colours, this must be 

 pronounced to be by far the most remark- 

 able hardy annual that has lately been intro- 

 duced, except the Coreopsis tinctoria." —
