ESERVING of all praise is the Aloysia, sometimes called 
Lemon Verbena. It is from Paraguay, and received its 
name in honor of Queen Mary Louisa, of Spain, the mother 
of Ferdinand VII. It is cultivated as a greenhouse shrub, 
for the aromatic odor of its delicate leaves, the least touch of 
which yields the delightful fragrance of the lemon. Frequently it is 
placed in the ground in summer, and in a dry cellar in winter. It 
should be trimmed back in the spring before the leaf buds begin to 
start, as otherwise it is inclined to a straggling growth. The flowers 
are small, appearing in spikes. They seldom bloom in this latitude. 
The young branches are used by florists in bouquets.
