LOBELIA, Nat. Ord. Lobeliacetr. 

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

 garden ; the low growing kinds make tlie most beautiful edgings ; L. spcciosa forms a delight- 

 ful contrast to Cerastium tomentosum and the variegated Alyssum, while L. gracilis erecta 

 compacta, from its bush-like habit and profusion of celestial blue flowers, is equally beautiful 

 in pots, beds, or used as an edging ; all the varieties of L. erinus are valuable for hanging 

 baskets, rustic-work, or vases, over the edges of which they droop in the most graceful and 

 elegant manner. The perennial varieties, with their handsome spikes of flowers, are exceed- 

 ingly ornamental, and are valuable from their blooming in autumn, along with the Gladioli, 

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