ScHiZAKTHUS, Ruiz and Fawn. From schizo^

to cut, and anthos, a ilower ; in allusion to the

Nat. Or. Scrophularidccm. This is a genus of
extremely beautiful and showy annuals. A
light fresh soil, not too rich, appears to suit
these plants best. They succeed well if the
seed be sown in an open border early in
spring ; they may also be reared on a hot-bed
in spring, planting a portion in the open
border, and growing the remainder in pots in
the greenhouse, with a free admission of air
and light. To procure flowering plants early
in summer, the seed should be sown in pots
during the autumn, and the plants kept in a
frame or greenhouse throughout the winter.
