in which it was held, as annuals rarely receive any higher 
award than a label of commendation. 
There is no more difficulty in the cultivation of this double 
variety of ClarJcia than in that of the single ones; and there is 
hardly any race of annuals more easy of culture than they 
are; they will thrive in any tolerably good garden soil, and, if 
the plants are thinned out so as to leave abundance of room 
for growth, they will proportionably reward the care bestowed 
on them. They are effective and ornamental plants; and we 
doubt not the variety now figured will prove its claim to be 
so considered during the coming season.
