LOBE LIA, Nat. Ord. Lohelia' cece. Beautiful half-hardy annuals, etc. 
Gems of the fiower garden; the Erinus varieties are indispensable for beds and ribbons ; and amongst 
Ihese the varieties of Pumila, with their compact, tufty growth, are very attractive. Ramosa is 
distinguished for its large fowers and branching habit. No plant in the fiower garden is more useful 
than the blue Lobelia spectosa, or required for so great a variety of purposes. As an editing 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 Centaurea, the effect of the blue Lobelia is very 
beautiful: but when associatedwitkthe Silver-leaved Grass (Dac/ylis elegantissima), the combination 
IS chasteness perfected. Seeing the importance therefore attached to this plant, it is very desirable 
to have seed from a pure and a good stock.
