is nothing more beautiful than the Meyenia erecta, which we find to be 
a free fioweriiig, as well as one of the most elegant of hard-wooded 
plants. Geraniums, Calceolarias, and Fuchsias are now beginning to 
come into bloom, and will help to vary the collection.

Tlie arrangement of the ribbon borders here varies every year, but I 
shall give you a list of the plants composing the lines of colour which, 
in my opinion, are the most effective. They are, too, as readily 
obtained as any we have tried, as there are some of the sorts hardy, 
others nearly so, while those which are tender are now so cheap that 
most people have them.
