General Observations. 
for luxuriance and rapidity of growth, which, 
if the soil be rich, is truly marvellous. Treat 
the same ns the Cucumber, and train against 
a wall or trellis, or in any way that may he 
desired. C. flexuosus, commonly known as 
the Snake Cucumber, is most singularly 
interesting in its fruit. 
The tribe of Cucurbita, or Gourds, are well 
known as producing some of the most 
curiously shaped of allfruits, and being, like 
the Cucuinis, of extremely rapid growth, 
are very desirable for covering the trellis- 
work of arbours, &c. &c., the varied and 
fantastic forms of the fruit adding a peculiar 
charm to the luxuriance of the foliage. 
re Cuphea has long been deservedly admired 
as a bedding plant, in which capacity it has 
few superiors. Sow the seeds in a hot-bed, 
and harden off at the end of May, when they 
may be employed for beds the same season. 
C. eminens is a most beautiful species, with 
long tubular flowers of scarlet and yellow ; 
it has a graceful branching habit, each branch 
clustering with blossoms. C. ocyinoides and 
zimpani are two very handsome bedding va- 
rieties. 
The Cypress of historic and Continental re- 
putation, very ornamental, with a rich dark 
green foliage. Sow in pans or boxes in sandy 
loatn in a cold pit, and transplant in sum- 
mer. 
ire well-known most beautiful bulbous 
plants, universally admired. Sow in sandy 
loam, and keep at first in a cold pit. 
good garden soil. 
Ornamental Grasses ; will also grow under 
water. 
Extremely useful and ornamental Shrubs for 
decorating the Conservatory and improving 
the appearance of the general Flower Gar 
den. C. alpinus and Laburnum are respect- 
ively known as the Scotch and English 
Laburnum of the gardens, 
o. 772, the well-known Dahlia: sow in sandy 
loam and leaf-mould, and plant out. 
These plants are particularly remarkable for 
the extraordinary size of their blooms. D. 
Wright ii is very handsome, delicate blue and 
white shaded. D. chlorantha has a mag- 
nificent large double golden-yellow flower, 
richly scented, and is altogether a very line 
plant. Sow on brisk heat, pot olf into loam 
and leaf-mould, and plant out at the end of 
June. 
Fine plants for Stove or warm Greenhouse : 
’ sow in pans and transplant.
