PETUNIA. 



This flower, from its beauty, fragrance and duration in

 greenhouse, conservatory or outdoor culture. • A great 

 effect may be produced by training them as semi- 

 climbers in a background to an ornamental mixed boi-- 

 der. Petunias contrast well in bedding with Scarlet 

 Geraniums, Coleus and Perilla.

POTENTILLA. 



These are handsome herbaceous plants, and from their 

 hardiness and showy character are exceedingly useful 

 and ornamental; they may be employed to advantage 

 in filling up vacant nooks and corners, even in single 

 plants; and in all situations, their neatness of foliage 

 and long duration in bloom render them objects of 

 desire.
