Polemoniacem. This is elegant genus of
plants. The species are all rendered more
valuable from their lively red, purple, or white
flowers, being produced at a season of the year
when the majority of the plants that flower at
the same period are syngenesious, and for the
most part yellow ; the trailing kinds are admirably
adapted for growing on rock-work, or
in small pots ; they grow best in a rich loamy
soil All the species root freely by cuttiiigs,
