Digitalis, Foxglove. — The common is an English plant, grow- 
ing nearly three feet high, bearing a variegated peach-coloured 
blossom from June to September; another kind blossoms white. 
* The yellow, Lutea, is a native of Italy, propagated by seed, 
which sows itself, and blows in June and July: the large yellow 
blossoms at the same time, and has a hue of purple in the blos- 
soms. It will attain to the height of three feet. All these re- 
quire the same treatment as the Campanula, which they resem- 
ble in their habits. 
Fritellaria imperialis, or Crown Imperial . — A large bul- 
bous root of a most nauseous smell. It is a native of Persia, 
and rises to the height of nearly three feet, bearing a bunch of 
yellowish red flowers, turning downwards, and part of the foliage 
rising above them. One variety is a pure light yellow ; it is of 
a very graceful shape, and blossoms early in May, or sometimes 
in April: it is propagated by parting the off-sets when the leaves 
have faded off’ in July. This may be done once in three years, 
y and the bulb be put in again in August, as it must not be kept 
out too long, it not being protected by a skin like the Tulip, &c. 
The bulb must be planted about the depth of four inches in a 
sandy loamy soil, or at least a garden mould which is not too stiff 
or too rich, to remedy which a little sand may be mixed with the 
mould. 
Ferraria undulata — A bulbous root, bearing a singular par-
