There is a deep green and fern-like beauty displayed profusely by some of the Umbelliferous family, but I have rarely met with one so remarkably attractive as this species It is a very ornamental plant, with large, deeply-divided leaves of a lively green colour, forming a dense irregu-lar bush. The flowers, which are insignificant and of a yellowish-white colour, are borne in small roundish umbels. Many of the class, while very elegant, perish quickly, get shabby indeed by the end of June, and are therefore out of place in the flower garden ; but this is firm in character, of a fine rich green, stout yet spreading in habit, growing more than 3 feet high, and making altogether a most pleasing bush. It is perfectly hardy, and easily increased by seed or division, but rare as yet. It loves a deep moist soil, but will thrive in any good garden soil. It is a fine subject fur isolation or grouping with other hardy and graceful-leaved Umbelliferous plants.
