Matricaria Extma LINARIA HENDERSONI ERICOIDES. The plant grows only eight inches high, but branches out laterally to the space of ten inches. The thin flat stalks are thickly covered with smooth, narrow, sage-green leave*, forming a bush from which sprout up the corn-shaped spikes of tlowers, giving the plant somewhat the appearance of a Heath, on which account I have given it the name of Ericoides. Individually, the small snapdragon-like flowers are of a purplish-violet color, striped and veined with lines of a darker shade. This Linaria is a perennial plant, but may be treated entirely as an annual, as the seedlings bloom very early the first year. They produce an uninterrupted succession of bloom until late in the autumn. The variety comes nearly true from seed, submits willingly to being transplanted, and will flourish in almoet any soil. For dwarf beds and borders, as well as pot- culture, this novelty will be found very useful. The sowing must be made under glass early in March, and as soon as (he seedlings are strong enough they should be planted out where they are to bloom. Pkt., 15 cts. MATRICARIA EXIMA.
