CLAr.KIA. 



The Clarkia is held in great estimation in Europe, 

 and especially in England, where it is as common as 

 Candytuft. The flowers are very pretty, and of many 

 colors, double and single. As the plant is apt to suffer 

 in hot, dry summers, it is better to sow the seed in Sep- 

 tember, and the plants will be lai-ge enough by spring 

 to make good bloom. Hardy annual ; one and a half 

 feet high.
