IOBE'LIA, Nat. Ord. Lohelia'cece. a. 



Exceedingly pretty profuse-blooming plants of irroat value and importance to the flower 

 garden ; the low-gi'owing kinds make the must beautiful edgings ; L. speciosa forms a delight- 

 ful contrast to Cerastium tomentosum and the variegated Alyssum ; L. gracilis ereeta com- 

 pacta, fi'om its bush-like habit and profusion of celestial blue floAvers, is equally beautiful in 

 pots, beds, or used ag^n edging ; all the varieties of L. Erinus are valuable for hanging baskets, 

 rustic-work, or vases, c^ver the edges of which they droop in the most graceful and elegant 

 manner. The perennial species, with their handsome spikes of flowers, are exceedingly orna- 

 mental, and are valuable from their blooming in autumn, along with the Gladioli, Lilium 

 lancifolium, Tritomas, &c. ; succeed best in light rich soil.
