General Observations.

ornaments for conservatory, greenhouse, or 
general flower-garden. M. moschatns is the 
well-known Musk Plant. Sow under glass in 
a little heat, prick off the seedlings.

the Canary-hird Creeper : the fruit of M. Bal-

t-me-not. These beautiful little flowers 
are too well known to need recommenda- 
tion ; will grow around fountains, over damp 
rockeries, or in any moist situation. M. 
azorica has the largest bloom. 
Exceedingly pretty and profuse-blooming 
plants. N. compacts and alba should be 
grown in every garden. Sow on hot- 
bed, and grow in peat and loam ; turn out 
about the end of May. 
These extremely pretty Annuals are more cul- 
tivated than any other, and for ease in cul- 
ture and profuseness of bloom are unsur- 
passed. N. discoidalis, insignis, grandiflora, 
and maculata are the finest varieties. Ne- 
mophila will grow in any soil and may be 
sown several times during the year, and 
may be induced to bloom very early if 
treated in the manner given for Calliopsis.
