SOHIZAN'THTJS, Nat. Ord. Scro})7tulariac€ce* Beautiful annuals. 
Few plants are more attractive than these when well grown, whether in pots or in the borders. We shall not 
soon forget seeing grand plants of Retusus in vases at Chiswick, when it was in its halcyon days. Neither shall 
we readily fot get the enjoyment we derived from a single plant of Retusus, which having stood the winter of 
in our Experimental Grounds, bloomed throughout the whole summer.

SOIL'LA (The Wood Hyacinth), Nat. Ord. Lilia'cece. Showy hardy bulbs. 
The Wood Hyacinth during May is the most attractive of our native Flora, and few sights can compare 
with the large breadths of those bright blue gems to be seen in almost every copse. The lipanish forms, Campanu- 
lata and Patula, have target flowers, and are more suitable for furnishing vases, and more elective in the flower 
borders than the native plant, S. nutans ; and they are desirable to naturalize with our native species. The seeds 
quoted were saved from the urand collection of Wood Hyacinths exhibited by us at the Royal Horticultural 
Gardens, South Kensington, and which was so much admired last May.

At the time of flowering the whole plant changes to red. It will be found most valuable for

SOLA'NUM, Nat. Ord. Solana'cece. Ornamental fruit and foliage plants. 
The following list embrace a few of the most picturesque, and beautiful of this highly ornafnental and elegant 
genus ofplafits for sub-tropical effect in summer, and conservatory decoration throughout the year. They are 
mostly of rapid growth, seedling plants soon becoming effective and ornamental. Pyracanthum is a perfect gem ; 
Marginatum,conspicuous for its white foliage; Robustum for its massive brown-tinted leaves; Laciniatum for 
its elegantly divided foliage i and Warscewiezioides for majesty of form is unquestionably the grandest of the 
Solanums.
