I covered the old plant with some sand only ; it endured last 

 winter, and is now very strong. Last year its first flowers 

 opened about the 10th of July. 



Mimulus glutinosus, a Peruvian plant, I put out in its pot 

 under a south wall in a poor dry place, and laid some sandy 

 gravel on the surface round it ; it endured the last four 

 winters well without covering ; it flowers freely in June, and 

 continues several weeks ; it ripens seed, of which I have above 

 an ounce. The plant is now six feet high ; seedling plants of 

 it flower when two years old. 



Marrubium pseudo-Dictamnus, a native of Crete, I put out 

 under a low south wall in its pot, in poor dry earth, in the 

 spring of 1822. It endures the winters and flowers freely, 

 producing ripe seed, which I sowed in a small pot filled with 

 sandy earth, on May 13, 1825. Young plants soon appeared,* 

 and some of them are producing flower buds now (June 29). 

 Disandra prostrata, which comes from Madeira, I planted out 

 in the open border, at some distance from a wall with an east 

 aspect, close to the root of a small Laburnum, on which is 

 grafted Cytisus elongatus ; it is so sheltered and shaded by the 

 plant over it, and the wall, that it only gets the morning sun 

 in a chequered way. On the approach of winter, I put some 

 rather sandy earth about it, and then laid over it some small 

 ornamental stones, shells, &c. with the round side uppermost. 

 By this management it has endured the last three winters, and 

 flowered in the summer. Last year it produced seeds. I 

 put a single Oleander in the open air, in its pot, under a south 

 wall ; it endured last winter with no other protection ; four 

 flowers opened on it at the same time, in the end of June. 



♦ One of these seedlings is a variety with white flowers.
