MIM'TJL'US (Monkey-flower), Nat. Ord. Scroplmlaria'cece. Beautiful perennials 
Splendid conservatory and sitting-room plants, with singularly shaped and brilliantly coloured tamers, distin- 
guished by their rich hieroglyphic-like markings. When cultivated indoors they succeed best if the pots are placed 
m saucers of water. Raised in heat , seedlings flower in a few weeks, and if planted in the open ground they are 
very effective, and they are admirably suited for growing in shady, damp, and marshy situations, or by the sides 
of lakes, etc .

MY0S0 TIS (Forget-me-not), Nat. Ord. Boragina! cece. Hardy perennials. 
For spring gardening M. sylvatica and M . dissilijlora are by far the best ; Sylvatica we recommend where 
great quantities are planted; Dissitiflora for select beds, and sheltered situations, and where a very early 
e JF c l ls necessary. Palustris semperjlorens is in flower throughout the summer , thus furnishing a constant supply 
of flowers for bouquets, especially if grown in damp and shady situations. All the Forget-me-nots potted up in 
autumn are valuable for winter and spring-flowering under glass.

NASTURTIUM (Trope© olum), Nat. Ord. Bropceolacece. Beautiful hardy annuals. 
Unrivalled for beauty , effect, and utility. In soils dry or poor, or soils made so with lime-rubbish, they surpass 
the Geranium and Calceolaria in brilliancy of colour and profusion of bloom. To amateurs who have no glass 
they are a boon, and a valuable supplementary plant in cases of deficiency or failure of “ bedding stuff." The 
varieties enumerated are the most decorative and beautiful .

NEME SLA, Nat. Ord. Scroplmlaria'cece. Pretty compact growing half-hardy annuals. 
These are neat bushy profuse-blooming plants, very desirable for beds, rock-work, and pots. They 
coimnence flowering when a few inches high, and continue in beauty for months.
