a variety of a weed common in low pastures, and producing its lilac blooms in April and

the single form of which is abundant on English commons. The double one has white 
flowers, which appear from June to October. 
The double-flowered Meadow-Sweet {Spircea Ulmaria multiplex). A handsome herbaceous 
plant, taller than the last, fit for any moist situation, and bearing white blossoms from June

The double plane-tree. leaved Crowfoot (Ranunculus platanifolius, flore pleno). A fine herba- 
ceous plant, bearing white blossoms in May and J une. (There are several similar varieties

perennial, about a foot in height, producing whitish yellow flowers in April and May. 
To this list may be appended double-flowered Daisies, Primroses, Violets, 
Polyanthuses, Chrysanthemums, Roses, Cherries, and Peaches, all of which are 
superior to the single-flowered forms of the same species, and possess an interest 
which greatly commends them to the attention of the cultivator. 
In regard to the cultivation of this diversified group of plants, a very few 
observations will suffice, as their treatment is of the most common description. 
All the herbaceous kinds (and these constitute the great majority) are propagated 
either by division or cuttings, the latter method being adopted with such as 
partake likewise of a shrubby nature, or are what is usually termed suffruticose. 
Of this last class, the Wallflower is an example. These should have the cuttings
