FAMILIAR GAEBEN FLOWERS. 



time the ordinary treatment of seedling herbaceous plants 

 is all they require. But they may be raised with facility 

 from cuttingSj which should be made from the young 

 shoots when these are nearly full grown. If planted firmly 

 in sandy soil, and covered with a hand-light^ the cuttings 

 will soon make roots, and with a little care may be grown 

 to a useful size for planting out. 



The plant figured was raised by Mr. George Penny, 

 of Milford, who named it in honour of his friend Mr. Cree, 

 of the Addlestone Nursery. It is nearly related to Malra 

 miniata, and equally so, perhaps, to M. divaricnfa. It is 

 a suitable plant for a sunny part of a rockery, and to 

 insure keeping it a few surplus plants should be raised 

 annually and wintered in a frame for planting out. Its 

 place in the Botu ideal Maijazlne is t. 3698.
