Fringed Chinese Primrose. Sow under glass 
in beat ; grow in sandy loam and very sweet 
leaf-mould : keep in shady but not damp 
place, and near the glass in winter in green- 
house. 
Common field Primrose. 
Usual greenhouse treatment. 
Magnificent Evergreen Greenhouse Shrubs. 
■ Good garden soil. 
Ornamental Greenhouse Shrubs. Sow in slight 
hot-bed in April, pot off, and grow in fibry 
peat and loam in a cool shady place. 
I 
Usual greenhouse treatment. 
P. nanum forms a charming little bush, covered 
with scarlet blossoms. 
I Feverfeu : very ornamental Perennials ; con- 
trasting well with scarlet Geraniums, &c. 
Sow on heat. 
Requires a deep, rich soil. 
| Various kinds of Mignonette. 
Ordinary garden soil. 
Handsome Everlasting Flower. 
I These remarkably handsome Shrubs are to be 
met with at nearly all Floral Exhibitions, of 
y which they form a chief feature. Sow in 
heat in pans, transplant, and grow in 
mixture of loam and peat. 
These rapid-growing plants are highly orna 
mental for large gardens, and for back 
grounds and centres of beds are extremely 
useful : their large and handsome foliage 
and various-coloured fruit render them 
striking and desirable. Sow on heat and 
transplant. 
Pretty Climber. 
^Curious Herbaceous plants. Sow out of doors 
in April. 
Good garden soil. 
Strikingly beautiful tender Annual. 
Beautiful Annuals, with large richly-coloured, 
delicately veined and mottled blossoms : on 
close inspection the blooms will be found 
to have a rich velvety softness seldom seen 
on other flowers. Salpiglossis delight in a 
rich light soil, and may be treated in general 
in the same manner as Calliopsis.
