a sunny border will suit these annuals. 
Gillenia (Indian Physic). — Hardy perennials, natives of 
N. America, and members of the Rose order (Rosaceas). Two 
species are grown, viz., G. trifoliata (Indian Physic), a graceful 
spiraea-like plant, with dark red stems, and white or rosy

cut leaves and white flowers borne in June. Both grow about 
aft. high. These plants require to be grown in moist peat 
and loam in partial shade. Plant in autumn or spring. In- 
creased by seeds sown in peaty soil in a cold frame in spring, 
or by division of the roots in spring. 
Glaucium (Horned Poppy). — Hardy biennials, belonging 
to the Poppy order (Papaveraceae), and suitable for border 
culture. G. corniculatum is a naturalised plant in Britain. 
It grows about gin. high, and bears crimson flowers with a

has scarlet flowers spotted with black and margined with 
yellow, height 1ft. G. Fischeri has reddish-orange flowers and 
grows 1 ft. high. All will grow in ordinary soil in a sunny 
border. Sow the seeds in patches in April where the plants 
are required to flower, and thin out the seedlings to 6 in. apart. 
The plants will not flower till the following year.

plants of dwarf growth, and suitable for rockery culture. G. 
alypum is a European species, growing 2ft. high, and bearing
