Under cultivation the @odetia section has produced 
"several good hybrids and garden varieties which are among 
the best of hardy annuals, though not nearly so widely known and 
grown as they deserve. In purchasing seed of these they must be asked 
for as Godetias. Duchess of Albany has white flowers, 3 or 4 inches 
across ; the Duchess of Fife also has white flowers; Lady Albemarle, a 
spreading dwarf plant, with showy crimson flowers ; Satin Rose, similar 
to the last mentioned, but with brilliant rosy flowers ; Princess of Wales, 
somewhat taller, with ruby-crimson flowers; The Bride, free flowering, 
white and carmine. 
The cultivation of @notheras is a simple matter; they 
may be said to be everybody’s plants, for any person may 
grow them; they only require an introduction into the garden and they 
will sow and grow themselves. It is true they have some slight pre- 
ference in the matter of soils, and this is in the direction of those of a 
sandy nature. The dwarf Godetvas are very suitable for the herbaceous 
border, and they may be backed by some of the taller-growing species, 
such as &. biennis or @. speciosa. The tall, coarse-growing sorts are 
quite at home in the wild garden ; those that are small and of creeping
