THE YOUNG FLORIST. 



H. The Perennial Grand Flowering, with 

 its large, various colored brilliant flowers, is 

 also very showy, and continues a long time in 

 bloom. Here is a dguble kind I raised from 

 seed : the flowers are a cerulean blue, variegat- 

 ed with purple ; and upon the whole, taking 

 the class together, they are very interesting,

 chella ; it is exceedingly neat and 

 handsome. It was discovered by 

 Capt. Clark, at the mouth of Co- 

 lumbia River, and named after him. c " pulch£:lla - 



M. Was it the same who accompanied 

 Lewis on the exploring expedition to the 

 Rocky Mountains ?
