General Ohservations. 
The dwarf varieties, such as S. Schafta, arc 
adapted for rockwork, lieds, or mixed bor- 
ders. S.peiuhda isan extremely free bloomer, 
and can be strongly recommended as ex- 
ceedingly effective. S. psendo-Atocion is a 
very fine flower, admirably adapted for the 
formation of beds, and contrasts well with 
Nemophila insignis. All are very free grow- 
ing, but are more showy if carefully treated 
by being sown under protection in light rich 
soil and transplanted to borders in May. 
Good garden soil. 
These plants may be considered as Ilalf-hardy, 
and are particularly ornamental in their 
fruit, which varies from the size of a Spanish 
Nut to a Tomato. S. jasminoides is a very 
elegant Climber for greenhouse decoration 
S. Capsicastrum is also a very interesting 
ornamental plant for the decoration of the 
greenhouse or conservatory, and resembles 
a miniature Orange Tree. Sow in sandy 
loam and peat in hot-bed, and grow after- 
wards in good garden soil wherever it may 
be desirable. 
j. Sowon a little heat, and grow in loam and peat. 
Mixture of loam and peat, 
j Ornamental Grass. 
J Good garden soil. 
J Admirable substitutes for Grass; sec p. 118. 
Very showy Annual. 
Fine ornaments for Shrubberies : sow in cold 
pit in April, and protect at first; grow in 
good, deep, loamy soil. 
Sow on heat. 
Beautiful Amarantlms-like flower. 
Culture similar to that lor Salvia. 
These Herbaceous I'lants arc very beautiful, mid 
are worthy of more extensive cultivation 
than has hitherto been bestowed upon them 
S. Bonduelli has fine masses of yellow blos- 
som. S. Halfordiis a beautifully compact 
plant, with large leaves and fine heads of 
blue flowers ; good for conservatory or 
greenhouse decoration. S. incana is a 
charming plant forming a mass of bloom, 
the shape of the entire plant resembling an 
inverted basin. Sow all the varieties in a 
cold pit, and keep shaded until the plants 
appear ; grow in well-drained pots, in a 
mixture of fibry sandy loam, peat, broken 
/ sandstone, &c. &c. 
| Common garden soil.
