General Observations. 
Usual greenhouse treatment. 
Fine ornamental hardy Conifers. Sow in 
pans and boxes under protection, placing 
the seeds an inch apart : keep under pro- 
tection the first winter.

j Usual greenhouse treatment. 
Pretty half-hardy Annuals : sow in slight hot- 
bed and transplant. 
in loam and peat. 
’rettv hardy Perennials. P. crcruleun 
as the Jacob’s Ladder of gardens, 
any good garden soil. 
Grow i 
Showy Greenhouse Shrubs: sow in mild hot- 
bed and grow in fibry peat mixed with a 
little loam. 
Portulacas are remarkable for brilliancy and 
richness of colour, and are adapted for 
beds, clumps, edgings, pots, vases, or rock- 
work. P. am ca striata and lllcnsoni arc the 
newest and handsomest varieties. Sow in 
sandy peat, leaf-mould, and burnt earth; 
prick Otr and plant in rows in the middle of 
June, placing an inch or two of lime-rub- 
bish, burnt earth, and sand over the border, 
to prevent the plants from damping off. 
These plants require scarcely any water. 
These are very handsome Herbaceous Plants, 
and from their hardiness and showy cha- 
racter are exceedingly useful and orna- 
mental : they may be employed to advan- 
tage in filling up vacant nooks and corners • 
even in single plants, and in all situations, 
their neatness of foliage and long duration 
in bloom render them objects of desire 
The dwarf varieties will be found useful in 
rockeries. Some of the best kinds are 
pi iiited in black type. Sow in a well- 
mixed border, and transplant in the au- 
tumn or the following spring. 
Good garden soil.
