sembling the AntirrhinHm, the
principal difference being in tle

too delicate for out door culture in
the Northern and Middle States,
but does remarkably well for
baskets, vases, etc, ins sheltered
positions. P!auts should be grown
in the k0t-bed or greenhouse, and

desirable trait in IA climbing plant,

gained such distinction in Egypt,
for we read that Pharaoh clothed
him IN fine linen; aud we are also
told in the history Of the plaques
that occurred in the time of Moses,
that the fax was smitten. There
are several varieties OF ornamental
flax worthy Of culture, however,

plants are very graceful, the foil
