 Nat. Or. Scropkulari&ccce. This is a genus of 

 extremely beautiful and showy annuals. A 

 light fresh soil, not too rich, appears to suit 

 these plants best. They succeed well if the 

 seed be sown in an open border early in 

 spring ; they may also ' be reared on a hot-bed 

 in spring, planting a portion in the open 

 border, and growing the remainder in pots in 

 the greenhouse, with a free admission of air 

 and light. To procure flowering plants early 

 in summer, the seed should be sown in pots 

 during the autumn, and the plants kept in a 

 frame or greenhouse throughout the winter.
