i To secure fine plants for bedding 
out the following May, some prefer 
to sow the seed in Autumn, but 
February or March is good time 
for sowing if the plants have careful 
attention and are grown on freely. 
Sow the seeds thinly in pans or 
pots of sandy loam, cover very 
lightly, and place in a heat of about 
sixty degrees, keep moist, and soon 
as the young plants can bo handled, 
pot off singly into small pots of 
light rich soil, keep near the glass 
in a gentle heat, and give plenty 
of air on fine days. Carefully pick- 
ing off all the flower-buds will 
greatly assist their growth, and 
they should on no account be 
allowed to suffer from want of 
moisture. Other excellent methods 
are to prick the young plants five 
or six in a five-inch pot, or, better 
still, to plant them thinly in shal- 
low trays of rich soil, keeping in 
gentle heat, giving air, &c., as re- 
commended. These will generally 
form compactly grown, sturdy 
plants, that will quickly produce a 
beautiful effect when planted out. 
Lobelias intended for pots or win- 
dow-boxes succeed best when 
planted out thinly in good soil in an open situation, and carefully 
lifted when they have formed nice tufty plants ; these will at once 
commence blooming, and produce an effect that could not be of hen- 
wise obtained. For bedding out, we strongly recommend Daniels’ 
Dark Blue and Daniels’ White Bedding as most compact in growth 
and reliable in colour. Royal Purplo, Barnard's Perpetual are also 
very fine, whilst for pot culture, hanging baskets, and greenhouse 
decoration, the beautiful tenuior and the varieties of ramosaare by 
far the best. 
LOBELIA CARDINALIS VICTORIA. 
This beautiful perennial, growing about two feet high, with its 
rich dark metallic foliage and brilliant scarlet (lowers, comes quite 
true from seed, and sown in February or March on a gentle heat 
will make nice plants for bedding out in May or June for bloom- 
ing the following Autumn. The roots of these should be protected 
in severe weather by a covering of cocoa-nut refuse, ashes, or any 
light similar material, or they may be lifted after flowering, and 
stored in a cool pit or frame for the Winter, and planted out again 
tho following April or May.
