. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 156 The American Florist. Aug. 25, Browallia Spcciosa Major. This plant is known to a good many gardeners. It thrives in an intermediate house during the winter months, and cuttings struck in heat in April, when they strike freely, grow best during the summer months in the greenhouse or a cold frame. The plant is liable to infes- tation by thrips when grown on dry stages, and at this season (July) it should be frequently syringed and the shoots topped. There are but few flowers which give us such bright blue color
