a T is surprising this family is not more largely grown, considering how easy they are to cultivate; 
and if well grown what grand things they are, both for decoration and exhibition ! Treat them 
similarly to a Verbena. Choose nice young plants about March, or any time up to July, give 
them good shifts and rich soil, well stake out, and you will be highly gratified, for some are certainly 
surprisingly large, and their colours not equalled by any other flower. The finest varieties ever 
offered. Seed saved from this collection. Is. <ad. and 2s. Crf. per packet.

f^HLOXftS. 
#l||r^HESE are a splendid hardy class of plants. Some of them are lovely colours and perfectly 
distinct to any other flower, and for mixed borders or in shrubberies they are not equalled 
by any other plant. Some of their blooms are almost a perfect circle. Their roots can be 
divided in February, and are quite hardy. Plant them in good, deep, rich soil in an open situation. 
To get fine exhibition blooms, strong cuttings must be taken and struck early in March. For cut 
blooms they are valuable, also very ornamental, and continue in bloom for a long time.
