Solanum for Large Spaces 
Solanum robustum and S. Warscewiczii 
are really perennials, but are useful plants 
grown either as biennials or as half-hardy 
annuals ; in the latter case sown in February. 
They are important plants about 4 feet high 
and nearly as wide, with handsome foliage and 
white bloom ; good for filling large spaces. 
Sphenogyne speciosa ; h.a. — A pretty 
yellow Daisy flower about 10 inches high, with 
darker centre. It can be sown in place but is 
best grown in slight heat as a half-hardy annual. 
It should have a sunny place. 
Statice sinuata ; h.h.a. ; 1 foot ; lavender 
and white ; there are also pink varieties. It is 
one of the flowers that will dry for winter decora- 
tion and is therefore classed among what are 
called Everlastings. 5 . Suworowi is a taller 
plant whose best use is for the conservatory.
