Malope grandiflova, scarlet Malope. 
alba, white. 
Mirabilis jalapa, marvel of Peru, many varieties. If the 
roots of this plant are lifted in October, and placed 
in a dry cellar, free from frost, and planted out next 
April, they will bloom much finer. 
Nemophila insignis, or blue Grove Love, a pretty dwarf 
plant, requiring rich soil and a half-shaded 
situation. 
atomaria, white with black spots. 
maculata, spotted, beautiful. 
Nigella Damacene, Love in a mist. 
Hispanica, Spanish, blue and brown. 
Oenothera, or tree Primrose ; many varieties of the annual 
species produce their flowers in much greater perfec- 
tion, if planted or sown in poor soil. To this, ansi- 
loba, sinuata, and tetraptcra are exceptions, as they 
flower the finest in a rich, light loam. 
Papaver Marseillii, double white poppy, edged with red. 
gigantea, large Dutch poppy. 
Phlox Drummondii, many colours ; a superb article, and 
blooms from May till October. In dry situations, it 
is apt to die off unless partially shaded. 
Reseda odorata, Mignonette; to have it in perfection the 
whole season, there should be a sowing in May and 
July. It delights in a rich, loamy soil. 
Tournefortia heliotropoides, summer Heliotrope. 
Viscaria oculata, violet viscaria. 
Viola tricolor, Pansy or Heart' s-easc, require very rich soil, 
and should be shaded from hot sun ; if sown early in 
the season, they will flower profusely in the autumn. 
For other varieties of Annuals, see list adapted for hot-bed 
sowing. We have omitted many not agreeing with our cli- 
mate, or those very common; for such, we refer our readers 
to the lists published annually by respectable seedsmen.
