FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES. 



The Gardeners' Magazine. 



ilicii-VELMAS Paisies.— Asters of tlie 

 iliohaelmas daisy persuasion have been 

 so wonderfully developed of late years 

 that they undoubtedly form one of the 

 chief attractions of many gardens in 

 the autumn, but the great bulk, of the 

 varieties have a terrible habit of abso- 

 lutely invading the garden unless they 

 be subjected to a persistent process of 

 weeding out, and even then are, as a 

 rule, far too robust and bushy for as- 

 sociation with plants of ordinary garden 

 size. Huge shrub-like masses, sis feet 

 high and nearly as much through, pre- 

 sent, certainly, 'a rich effect when cov- 

 ered with their pretty star-like flowers, 

 but when it is found that not only do 

 they overshadow and crowd out every- 

 thing of less lofty pretensions, and that 

 their seedlings come up in such profu- 

 sion and with such inherited self-asser- 

 tion as to • become veritable weeds, the 

 gardener becomes in time sated with 

 them and is likely to oust them al- 

 together. But recently some dwarf 

 forms have made their appearance. 



Varieg-\ted Ferns. — Probablv the 

 finest variegated fern in cultivation is 

 Ptcris tricolor, the ground color of the 

 fronds being a vivid dark green when 

 mature, though rose-colored in the young 

 state, the center of each pinna purplish- 

 red or crimson, margined with white or 

 silverv-o'ray. Though somewhat variable 

 under cultivation, the effect of this plant 

 is frequently enhanced in good speci- 

 mens by the" diversity of colors displayed 

 in the fronds by the continuous growth, 

 development and maturing of the same, 

 conjointly with the production of the 

 pigmental matter. By some authorities 

 P. tricolor is simply held to be a varie- 

 gated form of P. aspericaulis, an East 

 Indian species. 



Too Many G.^deners. — Overproduc- 

 tion is a question of more than passing 

 importance at the present day among pri- 

 vate gardeners. The advertisement col- 

 umns in the papers every week tell their 

 own story of gardeners in need of situa- 

 tions. Why do the "situations wanted" 

 so far outweigh the "places vacant"; 

 why do gardeners tremble at the thought 

 of "leaving a situation for the fear that 

 they will not be able to secure another 

 one; and why do young men who wish 

 to become head gardeners have to fre- 

 quently wait long and wearily for the 

 fulfillment of their desires, till hope de- 

 ferred makes the heart sick? There can 

 only be one answer, and it is that the 

 oufput is in excess of the demand.
