27m Erinus v nrMies of Lobelia are 
universally cultivated, and by far 
the most useful for bedding. They 
are easily managed, and may be 
had in the qrealesl abundance from 
seed, 1 chicn can be sown late m 
autumn or m spring, and the 
plants pricked off singly into pole, 
and if plunged tn a gentle bottom • 
heat for a few weeks, they will soon 
make nice plants. The new white 
varieties are very beautiful, but 
beino liable to sport, as jy (he case 
. more or less with all lobelias, it is 
desirable they, and indeed all seed • \ 
ling lobelias , should be got into 
flower before planting out. And 
this mag be attained by sowing the 
teed in rows in a frame specially 
prepared, with the soil raised near 
to the glass, and there remain till 
in flower, when the best can be 
lifted and at once planted where 
required. Crystal Palace Comjxuta 
and the varieties of Pumila, 
are now extensively used, where 
bushy compact edgings are pre •
