LARiA. 
A favorite and 
mivcrsaily ad- 
mired K^nus, re- 
arkable for 
their large, beau- 
tiftillj'' spotted 
blossoms, which 
Eire very showy, 
and from which 
an almost count- 
less number of hy- 
brids have been 
raised. They are 
perennial, are 
grown in pots in 
the conservatory, 
grrecn-house and 
garden; but few 
flowers are held 
in greater esteem. 
They prefer a tur- 
fy loam, a mixt- 
ure of peat and 
sand, or a rich, 
open garden mold 
and are propa- 
gated from seed 
or cuttings. Some 
of them are her- 
baceous peren- 
nials, others 
shrubby ever- 
greens.
