104 FAMILIAR GARDEN FLOWERS. 
The Browallias may be advantageously employed to 
embellish the greenhouse and conservatory during the 
summer. For this purpose we have not so great a variety 
of flowers as may appear from a casual consideration of the 
subject, because a large proportion of decorative plants 
thrive so much better when planted out than when kept in 
pots and flowered under glass. These little tropical forget- 
me-nots enjoy the shelter and comparatively uniform tem- 
perature of the greenhouse during the summer, and in 
places where the climate is usually unfavourable to tender 
plants in the open ground it is advisable not to plant 
them out, but to grow fine pot specimens for flowering 
in-doors. Then it will be found that the two varieties of 
B. elata, giving flowers white and blue; with B. pulehedla, 
with flowers rosy purple; B. grandiflora, with flowers 
yellow; and B. Jamesoni, with flowers orange—will make 
an interesting collection. Associate with them a few fine 
pot specimens of the delicate schizanthus, and the conserva- 
tory will not lack interest and beauty.
