 autumn. The seed requires a moderately high tempera- 

 ture. Fine mixed. Packet, 5c.

 tensive lawns, as in growth it is more vigorous than the 

 more dwarf varieties. Packet, 10c.

 curious plant with globular heads of small, pink flowers.

 tability of its leaves which close and droop at the slight- 

 est touch. Packet, 5c.

 der plant with dark and glossy leaves and long spikes of
