General Observations. 
For observations on Salpiglossis See prece- 
ding page. 
Good garden soil. 
All the varieties of this genus are pretty, and 
some very beautiful. S. splendens lias fine 
large scarlet blossoms. S. splendens com- 
pacta is the finest Salvia 'grown, being lite- 
rally covered with blossom. S. coccinea and 
its varieties are very free bloomers, and their 
universal appearance in nearly every gar- 
den proves their merits. S. patens is the 
brightest and purestof all blue-flowered plants, 
and holds a pre-eminent position among bed- 
ding plants. S. Roemeriana has a neat crim- 
son blossom, though of a much dwarfer habit 
than the varieties previously recommended. 
Half-hardy varieties, such as coccinea and 
splendens, sow on heat and transplant, and 
grow in loam and peat. S. argentea has large 
silvery leaves. 
| Good garden soil. 
Pretty dwarf hardy Annual. 
The best and longest-blooming of all dwarf An- 
nuals, producing masses of minute cross-shaped 
rose-coloured blossoms: admirable for bedding, 
No. 1854 is a new pure white variety. 
A fine class of Mountain plants, admirable for 
rockeries. 
Produces curious white berries. 
These, if sown in a little heat at the end of 
March, and planted out at the begin 
ning of May, will make fine large beds in 
the autumn ; if sown in September, potted 
off separately, and kept over the winter in 
the greenhouse, they will there form fine 
objects from May onwards : grow in rich 
sandy loam. Hardy kinds sow in the 
open borders. 
Very pretty fragrant Annual. 
Usual greenhouse treatment. 
Sow in light rich loam 
Good garden soil. 
Beautiful Loasa-like Climber, 
j Stonecrop : the different varieties of Sedum 
are extremely useful for rockeries and co- 
vering ornamental mounds ; and their neat 
foliage and innumerable pink, blue, and 
yellow blossoms render them objects of 
great admiration. 
Ornamental Grass. 
Handsome free-flowering Malvaceous Plants ; 
fine ornaments for the greenhouse or stove. 
I Catchfly. The tribe of Silene comprises many 
I bright ornaments for the general flower-gar- 
[ den, both in brilliancy of colour and length 
of duration in bloom.
