Leptosiphons revel in Sunshine 
of a slightly rank quality. There is a dwarfer 
kind of a better colour, called Loveliness. 
Leptosiphon ; h.a. — Pretty little dwarf- 
growing plants, related to Gilia, about 6 inches 
high, with flowers in umbels. L. aureus, L. 
densiflorus, L. d. alhus, and L. roseus are the best. 
They all delight in full sun. 
Leptosyne maritima ; h.h.a. — Really a per- 
ennial, but in our climate treated as a half-hardy 
annual. It is nearly allied to Coreopsis, grows 
3 feet high, and has large yellow Daisy flowers. 
Limnanthes Douglasi ; h.a. — A charming 
plant of trailing habit, with an abundance of 
yellow and white bloom of Nemophila shape. 
Excellent for autumn sowing. 
Linaria maroccana, white variety; h.a. ; 12 
inches. — A charming plant. It delights in a 
warm, sunny spot, and is useful, grown in pots, 
for the conservatory. 
Linum grandiflorum ; h.a. ; 18 inches. — 
The best is L. grandiflorum rubrum, the Scarlet 
Flax ; a very showy plant. 
Lobelia Erinus ; h.h.a. ; 6 inches. — Not a 
true annual, but so used in our gardens ; well 
known as a dwarf bedding plant of good blue 
colour. A good use for it is to fill bare spaces 
in rock work, but it will not flourish unless it is 
kept watered. One of the best varieties is 
Cobalt Blue, if it is to be sown, but there are 
variously named kinds still better in colour
