Schizanthus (Fringe Flower) •—Hardy 
annual. Interesting and beautiful flowers, and invite the closest 
inspection, and equal in singular marking some of the Oncidium 
Orchids. In pots in the conservatory few plants are more attractive, 
and a lovely group of them might have been seen during the early 
months of the year in The Royal Gardens, Kew, greenhouse. 
All the varieties are more or less marked with crimson, lilac, purple, 
and yellow, and the petals are cut in a picturesque manner. In the 
Summer they grow freely out of doors.

Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pudiea) 
— Perennial. This graceful foliaged greenhouse perennial is one of 
the curiosities of the vegetable kingdom. Its peculiar sensitiveness 
to the human touch has originated the idea of a nerve motion some¬ 
what akin to that o! animal, and has even suggested a missing link 
between animal and vegetable life. Be that as it may, the plant is 
worthy of culture on its own merit ; graceful pinnate foliage.

This marvellous tribe of nutritive and poisonous fruits, including 
Tomato, Egg Plant, Capsicum, Potatoe, &c., &c., is worthy of the

ornamental purposes.

Spergula (Spurrey) . — Perennial. This mossy 
looking rock plant is a native of Corsica, and much resembles Arcnaria 
Cicsptfosa. An attempt was made to utilise it in the place of grass for 
lawns, but it was found to require too much care, and was expensive; 
but as making a broad carpet, moss-like margin to large flowers, it is 
inimitable, if care be taken in the planting and subsequent treatment. 
No. 1062. Pilifera. Foliage bright green ; white small star 1/0 & 2 6

used in carpet bedding... ... ... ... .. 1/0 & 2 6
