General Observations. 
L. mutabilis variecolor is a singularly interesting 
variety, the same seed producing a great va- 
riety of distinct colours, varying from pun 
white to purplish crimson. Sow in garden 
soil in April ; but to have such varieties as 
Hartwegi and Cruckshanksi splendid, sow in 
heat in March, grow separately in pots, and 
turn out into good rich soil in the month of 
May : it is preferable, as a general rule, to 
sow the annual varieties where it is intended 
they shall bloom. L. magnificusis very hand- 
some. L. arboreus is a fine shrub, with spikes 
of bright-yellow flowers. L. polyphyllus and 
albus arc respectively known as the blue and 
white perennial Lupine. 
Good garden soil. 
Handsome and useful Perennials. L. chalce- 
donica is to be met with in nearly every 
garden, and deserves its position. L. fulgens 
is brilliant in the extreme. L. Haageana is a 
new hybrid. L. Corsica is suitable for rock- 
work. Sowall the Lychnides in a nice sheltered 
place, and plant out. 
[ Showy border plants, 
soil. 
Sow in good garden 
I 
Osage Orange. 
Sow in garden soil in shady situations. 
Splendid Tree, richly scented blossoms. 
Fine ornamental plant. 
Free-blooming, showy Annuals ; succeeding in 
almost any soil. 
Barbadoes Cherry. 
) Plants of similar character to the Malope, but 
Perennials: sow under glass, harden off, 
and transplant. 
Fine fragrant Greenhouse Climber. 
Highly ornamental plants. 
Extremely handsome, large-flowered Annuals 
deserving of the most extensive cultivation. 
M. fragrans is beautifully striped. 
Sow in mild hot-bed, pot off into small pots, and 
keep warm until growing freely. 
These superb Climbers, in conjunction with 
the different vars. of Lophospermum, cannot 
be too highly recommended. Sow in sandy, 
peaty soil, or loam and leaf-mould in slight 
Ulot-bcd, prick off into pots, and encourage 
growth by re-potting. About May remove to 
cool greenhouse, conservatory, or train in 
columns in the flower-garden, removing 
them before the arrival of frost. 
Good garden soil. 
Very handsome Shrub. 
Usual greenhouse treatment. 
Ornamental Grasses. 
j- Sow in light rich soil. 
Dwarf-growing Annuals of great beauty, well 
suited for edgings and covering banks or 
rockeries fully exposed to the sun. Sow in 
hot-bed in sandy loam ; when fit, prick off, 
and about May plant out in sandy soil. 
r.oquat Tree of Japan. 
Good garden soil. 
Very pretty ornamental Grass.
