marks that every one may observe. Two divisions are formed,, one of which has 
the sepals united into a tube, the other has them all distinct. 
FIG. 4. 
<c In the first division is found the pink, which is known by the bracts at the 
base of the calyx, fig. 4, a, and some others, of which the following are the most 
remarkable : Silene, or Catchfly, has three styles and a little crest at the top of 
the stalk of each petal ; it derives its English name from its often secreting a 
viscid matter in which flies are caught. The Cockle (Agrostemma) has five styles 
and undivided petals. Lichnis, to which the Ragged Robbin (L. flos Cuculi) 
and Batchelors' Buttons (L. dioica) belong, to say nothing of the splendid Chal- 
cedonian Lychnis of the gardens, has five styles and divided petals. 
" To the second division we refer Chickweed (Stellaria), which has three 
styles and two-lobed petals, Sandwort (Arenaria), which has three styles and 
undivided petals, and Mouse-ear Chickweed (Cerastum), which has five styles 
and a curiously shaped taper seed- case with ten teeth." 
OPERATIONS FOR JUNE. 
Anemones. — Those planted in February and March will now be coming into 
flower. They will require shading. See page 18 of the current volume, rules 10, 12. 
Azaleas. — All the tender kinds, except those intended to bear seed, should be 
potted as soon as they have done flowering, which will be some time early in this 
month. About the middle of the month place them in a somewhat sheltered 
situation out of doors. Vol. I. p. 126.
