LARKSPUR. 
KOCHIA TRICHOPHYLLA. 
This is undoubtedly one of the most interesting and beautiful plants 
of recent introduction. The plant which is of an elegant upright habit of 
growth, with pals green fern-like foliage, attains a height of about eighteen 
inches, and forms a charming plant for the centres of small beds, or as 
a “ dot ” plant on borders amongst dwarfer growing subjects. In the 
Autumn, the foliage changes to a deep bright crimson colour, when it has 
a very novel and striking effect. It is easily raised and grown as a half- 
hardy annual and may bo sown in the open ground in April, and thinned 
out or transplanted, whilst potted up in to six or eight inch pots, it forms 
a charming plant for the greenhouse.
