MIRABILIS. 
The Mirabilis, or Four-O'clock, grows two feet high, 
bright foliage, fragrant flowers and desirable colors. Set 
plants two feet apart. It is really a good plant, and 
makes a nice summer hedge if set in a row about a 
foot apart. Seed should be planted in the open ground 
where the plants are desired. Flowers open in the after, 
noon, hence the name Four-O’clock.

MOLUCCA BALM. 
The Molucca Balm is commonly known as the Shell 
Flower, because of the resemblance of the calyx to a 
-shell. It is a strong annual, two to three feet in height, 
having but few leaves. The flowers are pinkish, sur- 
I rounded by a large shell-like calyx. It is a curious plant, 
and attracts much attention. The plant branches so 
freely that the width is about equal to the height.

NEMOPHILA. 
The Ncmophilas are pretty, delicate, hardy annuals. 
1 he flowers are mainly blue and white. They do best 
if sown in a frame and transplanted early, as the hot 
sun injures the flowers ; but do finely all summer, if 
planted in a rather cool, shady place. Set about six 
! inches apart. A few plants set early among spring-flow¬ 
ering bulbs in Autumn, or seeds scattered over the beds, 
will give a good account of themselves in early spring. 
Nemophila, mixed varieties,. 5
