Scrophularîaceoe. This is a favourite genus, and
contains some very showy species, from which an
ahnost countless number of handsome hybrids have
been raised and are raising. The herbaceous and
shrubby kinds are chiefly cultivated. They thrive
in a turfy loam, peat nnà sand mixed, or any kind
of rich, open, sandy garden mould seems to suit
them. The place most favourable to their successful
growth is a pit or frame, \vhere they must
be potted and watered with judgment. Some cultivators
turn them out in the flower-garden, where
they make a brilliant display ; others flower them
in pots, with perfect success in the greenhouse;
the latter way is generally preferred for the rare
and superior kinds. Young cuttings planted in
soil, under a glass, root freely; they are also increased
from seed, which it is recommended to sow
as soon as ripe. The annual species require to be
sown in heat, and when up, potted off, and afterwards
brought on for floweriníí in the greenhouse.
