Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom. Gardening -- Dictionaries; Plants -- North America encyclopedias. ZALUZIANSKYA (after a Pole, who wrote Methodus Herbaria?, Prague, 1592). Including Nycterinia, Scroph- ulari&cece. About 16 species of S. African herbs and subshrubs, including three plants known as Night Bal- sams or Star Balsams, from their night-blooming habit. The name Night-blooming Phlox would be better, as the flowers are salver-shaped and 5-lobed, each lobe being deeply cut. These plants are generally treated as balf- hardy annuals, the seed being sown indoors in early spring. The plants bloom in about ten weeks after being set out and continue in flower through July and August. Some cultivators declare that this method is very un- satisfactory and urge that the seed be sown in the au- tumn and the young plants wintered in a coldframe. They will then begin to flower by June. The blossoms are closed by day and are fragrant by night. Zaluzianskyas are more or less viscous plants: lowest lvs. opposite, upper ones alternate, usually few-toothed: fls. sessile but long-tubed, disposed in leafy spikes which are cylindrical or flatfish; calyx 5-toothed, 2- lipped or 2-parted; corolla persistent, the 5 lobes entire or 2-fid, equal or the 2 posterior ones a little wider; stamens usually 4; style club-shaped: capsule oblong, leathery or membranous. The Zaluzianskyas are little known in American gardens. The botanical status of the group is in need of revision. A promise was made to give some account under Zaluzianskya of the puzzling trade names Erinus duplex, gracilis, Paxtoniana and speeiosa. It is probable that these are all varieties of Erinus alpinus. In the American trade they are co
