PERIL'LA, Nat. Orel. Lahia'tm. 

 Amongst the recent introductions of ornamental foliaged plants for flower-garden decora- 

 tion, the Perilla claims a more than ordinary share of attention ; its habit of growth is neat 

 and shrubby, whilst its foliage is of a deejj mulberry or blackish purple, and forms a fine 

 contrast to the silvery leaves of Cineraria maritima, or the lively green of other ]dants, in 

 ribbons, centres of beds, or mixed flower borders ; gi'ows freely in any rich soil. Half-hardy 

 annnal.

PETU'MA, Nat. Ord. Solana'cece. 

 A highly ornamental and profuse-flowering, easily cultivated garden favourite, alike 

 valuable for the decoration of the greenhouse, sitting-room window, flower-beds, and borders. 

 The brilliancy and variety of its colours, combined with the duration of its blooming period, 

 and the capability of the flowers to bear the atmosphere of large towns, render it invaluable. 

 Seeds sown in March or April make fine bedding-plants for a summer and autumn display ; 

 they succeed in any rich soil. Half-hardy perennials.
