were, scorches the roots. There are many double varieties 
in the gardens, which flower early. The one called Crown 
or Carnation Daisy is twice the size of the common varie- 
ties,* and has white and red petals alternately and very 
double. Loamy soil, inclined to moisture, is best adapted to 
their growth. 
Campanula. This genus affords very many ornamental 
plants for the Flower-garden and Shrubbery, and they flower 
superbly during the summer, agreeing better with our cli- 
mate than with that of Europe. Many have two successions 
of flowers, O. joerswifblia alba plena ; C. per sic i/olia coer idea 
plena; C. urtic i/olia, white. Of this last there is also a 
double variety. C. speciosa ; C. glomerata ; C. versicolor, 
with several others, are worthy of a situation in every garden. 
Their roots are strong, fleshy, and fibrous. They are easy of 
culture, and will retain their situation in the severest of our 
winters. C. grandifiora is now Wahlenbergia grand iflbra. 
It has superb large blue flowers, stems are slender, and should 
be supported as soon as they grow. 
Cheirdnthus Cheiri vulgaris is the common garden Wall- 
flower. There are about ten varieties of it, all admired for 
their various colours and agreeable odour. The common 
variety survives the mildest of our winters. The most 
esteemed variety is hcemdnthus, Double bloody. They should 
all be protected by a frame. C. mutdbilis is a beautiful 
species; it has many shades of colour, from lilac to dark 
purple. The flowers are on extending racemose spikes, 
blooming from April to June ; it requires a light rich soil ; 
is a half-shrubby evergreen plant. 
Chelone. This genus belongs entirely to this continent, 
and possesses many fine species. It is a matter of astonish- 
ment that they are not more cultivated and sought for in our 
collections. C. glabra; C. obi i qua ; C. barbdfa ; C. atro- 
puipilrea ; C. pulcliella ; and C. speciosa ; are all handsome, 
and flower from May to September; corolla large, ringent, 
ventricose ; flowers in spikes or panicles. 
Chrys&nihemwrm: There are few of this genus of any 
consequence as herbaceous plants, except the varieties of 
C. siuense, of which there are about ninety, all desirable ; 
but in small gardens, where there is a deficiency in room, 
the following are select in colour and quality : Admiration, 
yellow; Celestial, pale blush; Coronet, white; Defiance,
