 Rossii. " A very fine variety, raised by the late Mr. William Ross, of 

 Stoke Newington, who was an unassuming and ingenious cultivator, and 

 one of the first persons who obtained new varieties of these popular plants

No. LXXVII. for May, contains 



303. Linaria alpina. The well known miniature beauty. Plants and 

 flowers " are objects of agreeable interest to every one who possesses a 

 garden, unless that possessor be one whose mind is so chained down to 

 mother earth that he never can raise an eye of satisfaction upon the beau- 

 ties of her vegetable children. These portray too much happiness — too 

 much of the spontaneous loveliness of nature, to meet even the placid con- 

 templation of some few, very few, morbific souls." L, alpina may be 

 abundantly increased by seeds or cuttings. Arid soil promotes its health 

 and beauty. — 306. Georgiwct superflua. A globe-flowered variety. — 307.
