^K^riNDERS „f David 

 Douglas are plentiful in 

 the garden, and more es- 

 pecially amongst the hardy 

 annuals that are collec- 

 tively descrihed as " Cali- 

 fornian." The favourite 

 annual here figured was 

 discovered by Mr. Lewis 

 on the Kooskoosky and 

 Clarke rivers in North 

 America, but the discovery 

 only resulted in placing it 

 in the herbarium, and from 

 there it obtained a place 

 in books. For the em- 

 Ijellishment of our gardens 

 by this beauty we are in- 

 debted to Douglas, who 

 found it in plenty in dry, open, sandy soils, near streams, 

 from the great falls of the Columbia on the north-west 

 coast of America to the Rocky Mountains. He sent seeds 

 to the Horticultural Society, and thus secured its diffusion, 

 to the ad\antage of all the lovers of a flowery garden.
