at full value ; they are of rapid growth and free bloomers ; the flower is striking 
from its black centre, which contrasts vividly with orange or pure white of 
other part of petals ; handsome Conservatory or decorative plants

( Ireenhouse Annual, flowers sky blue, spotted dark indigo, yellow spot in centre 
AW- Hot Poker Plants. Showy tuberous-rooted Perennial of great value and effect 
in mixed border in Summer and Autumn ; shrubbery ornament in clumps 
The varieties of T. Lobbi succeed best when treated as half-hardy Annuals. They 
may be trained as dwarf climbers in pots, in the Conservatory or Greenhouse ; 
in window boxes to hang in graceful festoons; or they can be pegged down 
and used as bedding plants; this last mode of culture was a marked feature 
in the gardens of the Crystal Palace and elsewhere for years. When employed 
as climbers they may in the summer-time be trained against walls, over arbours 
or trellises, or among hedges and rockeries, and when combined with the diffe- 
rent varieties of Convolvulus major, produce a most beautiful effect. It must 
not be forgotten that they will bloom during the Winter and Spring in the 
Greenhouse, a time when flowers are much needed. We may observe that the 
self-coloured varieties, such as Brilliant, Crystal Palace scarlet, elegans nana, 
Lilli Schmidt, and Sehultzi, come fairly true to colour from seed, but the other 
parti-coloured kinds, though always varied and beautiful, are more uncertain. 
T. Mons. Colmet, cream colour, bright spot ; T. Napoleon III., orange 
striped ; and T. Von Moltke, orange flamed, are of this class. If much bloom 
is desired, the soil must not be too rich, a light gravelly loam most suitable

Very free-growing hardy annual climber, light cream colour with dark spots ...

Jacob’s Ladder. Dwarf hardy Perennial, light blue flowers, for mixed border ... 
Native English hardy Perennial, one of the ornaments of the white cliffs of Albion i 
inits wild state, favourite with Cottage gardens, serviceable for mixed borders | 
These Campanula-like flowers are esteemed in the garden for their profuseness of

Similar to the preceding in habit, form, and general uses, colour white ... 
Half-hardy evergreen Perennial, Sub-tropical Garden, Greenhouse or Stove, both 
rose and white vars. noted for neatness ; hardy sort known as Periwinkle 
Heartsease family. It would be rare to see now any large extent of bedding 
without one or other of the Violas, their cheerful and enlivening effect upon 
a bed of variegated-leaved Geraniums is marvellous ; hardy Perennials, of 
easy culture. To ensure fixity of colour and habit, cuttings should be taken 
Sweet Violet. This charming Spring flower is too well known to need comment 
A larger-growing variety of the preceding, more robust in habit, also sweet-scented
