LOBETjIA, Nat. Ord. Lobelia! ceoe. JBeautiful half-hardy annuals, etc. 
Gems of the flower garden . The Erinus varieties of Lobelia are indispensable for beds and ribbons ; and 
amongst these , the varieties of Pumila , with their compact, tufty growth , are very attractive. Ramosa 
and Queen of Whites are distinguished for their large flowers and branching habit. No plant in 
the flower garden is more useful than the blue Lobelia speciosa, or required for so great a variety of 
purposes. As an edging the Lobelia is unsurpassed, while in front lines and ribbons no plant is more 
effective. Intermingled in small beds with the Variegated Alyssum, Cerastium, or White-leaved 
Centaurea , the contrast of the blue Lobelia is very beautiful ; but when associated with the, Silver- 
leaved Grass [Dactylis eleganttssima), the effect is chasteness to perfection. Seeing the importance 
therefore attached to this plant, it is very desirable to have seed from a pure and a good stock ,
