One of the dest plants in existence. Their dense mass 
of beautiful pocket-like flowers are formed in spring. Sow 
in a temperature of 5v or 60 degrees from January to 
April, in shallow boxes, in cg soil, merely pressing the 
seed into it and covering with light leaf mould or sifted 
moss. Tri lant into similar boxes as soon as the tiny 
lants can be dled, and when strong enough into pots. 
or winter and spring blooming sow from August to

—— — REBosea, “Pink Canterbury Bell.”” Theclass 
C. Media Calycanthema, to which this variety be- 
longs, is a new form of the old Canterbury Bells 
(distinguished by the Calyx forming a cup around 
the base of the bell or Corolla.) Of this form we 
already have a blue and white variety, now largely 
grown, and we are sure that this Pink Canterbury 
Bell, if it may be so called, being so much more 
beautiful, will come into even greater demand. [Se

CANNA. 
(Indian Shot.) 
With foliage of tropical luxuriance, this plant is particu- 
larly suitable for forming groups on lawns, or placed as 
backgrounds for dwarfer growing plants, for which pur- 
poe they are now largely used. Of late years this tribe 
ave developed great beauty and variety of flowers, giv- 
ing them added interest and value. The cultural instruc- 
tions given for Coleus are well adapted for the Canna.

CASTILLEJA. 
Cc. Indivisa. A magnificent plant, native of Texas, and 
whose attractiveness like the well-known Poinsettia 
pulcherrima is due less to the beauty of the flowers 
property so called, than to the highly colored 
racts or floral leaves accompanying them, and 
which are of a deep crimson scarlet. The plant 
itself attains a height of 1% ft., and surmounted by 
its dense mass of scarlet bracts, is wondrously
