TROP.EOLUM. Nat. Ord., Trojxeolece. 

 The following varieties, as hybrids from Tropaiolum Lobbiannm, are unsur- 



h passed by any collection ever olfered. They are all of the easiest culture, and 

 flower profusely the first year. Though not in all cases perpetuating their respec- 

 tive kinds true from seed, they nevertheless often produce still more beautiful ones. 



In the greenhouse or conservatory they may be had in bloom the greater part of 

 the year; and in favored situations in the open air, for edgings, covering trellis- 

 work, or handles of rustic baskets, or trailing from vases, their elegance of form 

 and brilliancy of color render them peculiarly valuable.
