PALAFOXIA. Nat. Okd., Composite. price. 

 This new Texas plant is one of the finest of recent acquisitions. It is much 

 dwarfer and more branching than l'alafoxia Texana; and the tiowers, which have 

 very much broader liorets, are larger, and of a bright rosy-crimson color, with a 

 dark centre. It is an annual, and will flourish finely iu light and dry soils, and 

 blooms throughout the summer.

 PERILLA. Nat. Ord., Labiates. 

 Among the recent introductions of ornamental-foliaged plants for flower-garden 

 decoration, the l'erilla deserves a more than ordinary share of attention. Its habit 

 of growth is neat and shrubby, whilst its foliage is a deep mulberry or blackish 

 purple, and forms a fine contrast to the silvery foliage of Cineraria Maritima, or the 

 lively green of other plants. Half-hardy annuals.

 ture, and produce a splendid effect in mixed borders. No garden should be with- 

 out these beautiful plants. Succeeds best in light rich soil. Hardy annuals.

289 Ileynholdi. The New True Scarlet Phlox (Benary). There is 



already in our gardens a bright variety of much value, known under the 

 name of P. scarlet; but its flowers, though of a very brilliant color, are 



far from being the true scarlet, and only of a dark-crimson tint . . .25

PORTULACA. Nat. Ord., Portulacete. 

 In praise of these charming flowers it is impossible to speak too highly; and it 

 may be safely affirmed that a garden without them is devoid of its brightest orna-
