In the spring flower garden the Poly- 
anthus is a very effective and almost 
indispensable plant. The new va- 
rieties, Cloth of Gold, White Queen, 
and Eastern Prince, are remark- 
able for their large fine trusses.

Splendid half-hardy annuals. 
In hrillianey, delicacy, and heauty of 
colour, the Portutaca eurpantee all other 
out-door plants, thriving in places where 
most other plants get burnt up. They 
I delight tn eunnj^ situations and light eoiU, 
V where they rapidly carpet the ground with ■ 
Jlowere and foliage. On rock-work laying 
to the sun, on stumps of trees, in rustic 
vases, on dry banks,and wherever plants of 
a spreading or drooping habit are re- 
quired, these are quite at home. 
These new vai-ietUs we have received from f 
Anienca, and, as the Portulaca is universally } 
grown in that country, conrideraUe attention m J 
consequently given to improving the varieties 1 
and we ttwrefore eispect this new section to be an 
improvement on our European sorts. L
