Greenhouse, where they will make a fine show amongst 
the other plants in spring. The remainder of the 
plants can be set out in the garden in May, and they 
will be in flower in June. 
The following species are very beautiful, when 
grown in pots, Alyssum maritimum, Clintonia pul- 
chelia, Mignionette, Gillia capitata, Nemophila insign¬ 
ia, Lobelia decumbens, Iberis coronaria, Rhodanthe 
manglesii, Schizanthus pinnatus, Victoria stock, &c. 
Many of the hardy annuals, also thrive well by 
being sown in the fall, particularly the California annu¬ 
als, as they are less liable to be affected by the heat 
and dryness of this climate. The best plan is to sow 
them in a spare bed, in small patches, and the plants 
will appear early in spring, when they can be easily 
removed with the garden trowel, to the situations in 
which they are intended to flower. 
The following sorts may be sown in the fall. Pfem- 
ophilas, Leptosiphons, Collinsias, Gillias, Lasthenias, 
&c. The Double-Rocket Larkspurs should be sown 
where they are to remain to flower. 
Phlox Drummondii succeeds very well if sown in 
the fall, and transplanted into a fresh dug bed in the 
spring. From its procumbent habit, it is best grown 
in a bed by itself, where it will flower all the summer.
