hardy plants, varying in height from 2 to 6 feet, and in colour ranging from pure white, pale lavender, 
and azure, to deep indigo-blue, whilst some are almost black, frequently with white, brown, or black 
centres ; the flowers differ considerably in form and size; there are singles, semi-doubles, and 
doubles, with spikes of bloom varying from 1 to 3 feet in length. When planted in flower borders 
and shrubberies ; there allowed to grow into large specimens, they surpass, in effect, all other her- 
baceous plants.

The Erythrina is a magnificent plant in summer, having a handsome foliage., and crowded with 
large coral red /lowers. If grown in pots, cut down in autumn, and place under the stage ; if grown 
out of doors, plant close to a wall, or in front of a greenhouse, taking care that the drainage is 
perfect, and in winter give a thick covering of ashes. It is also a fine subtropical plant.

In spring there is no prettier siqht than a mass or edging of the beautifully variegated foliage of the 
Dog's-tooth Violets. Few of the prized Ancectochilus of India can equal these in the variegation 
of their leaves, and when the graceful Cycla?nen-iike flowers appear, ranging in colour from the 
deepest purple to the purest white , the effect becomes matchless. Americanum is remarkable for its 
rich yellow blossoms, and Giganteum for its large handsome flown s ; all quite hardy.
