flower freely ; they also succeed admirably in shady , damp, and marshy situations, or by the sides of lakes.

MYOSO'TIS (Forget-me-not), Nat. Ord. Bor a gin a! cece. Hardy perennials. 
For filling beds or for conservatory decoration, we can supply plants of the Cliveden varieties of Forget-me-not and 
of Dissitifora in quantity, prices on application. The name M. alpestris we have omitted, as this charming little 
Forget-me-not can only be had in plants ; the seed which is commonly sold under this name is quite different. 
For spring gardening M. tylvatica and M. dissitifora are by far the best; Sylvatica we recommend where 
great quantities are planted; Dissitifora for select beds, and sheltered situations, and where a very early 
effect is required. All the Forget-me-nots are valuable for winter and spring- flowering under "lass.
