TBITO'MA, Nat. Ord. Lilia' cece. Majestic and beautiful hardy perennials. 
The Tritoma has long spikes of bright flame-scarlet /lowers. Glaucescens is in flower throughout the 
summer ; Grandis continues the succession to Christmas. In shrubberies and for naturalization, the 
majestic effect of these plants is unsurpassed. It is more satisfactory to purchase plants of Tritoma Glaucescens 
and Grandis than to raise them from seed; they are inexpensive, perdoz.ys. bd. and 10 s. bd . ; each ir. & 1 / 6 .

VTOLA (Heartsease or Pansy), Nat. Ord. Viola' cece. Hardy perennials. 
In the. spring flower garden the Pansy ( Viola tricolor) blooms continuously, and produces a matchless effect in 
designs beds and ribbons. From seed the colours cannot be implicitly depended upon ; they should, therefore, be 
transplanted' from the seed-bed and flcnuered before finally planting out. Seed sown in spring, /lowers the 
summer- sawn in summer, flowers in autumn. With a little attention, the Pansy is a charming plant for 
summer decoration. The varieties of Viola are very important, as they succeed in situations where the Pansy 
is a failure. Viola odorata flowers during winter and spring, and is prized for its fragrance.
