The Gardeners' Chronicle. 



A white double flowered stock shown 

 before the Floral Committee of the 

 Eoyal Horticultural Society in May by 

 Wm. Bull & Sons was pronounced quite 

 remarkable by the committee. The 

 flower-spikes were nearly two feet long, 

 and the individual flowers nearly as 

 large as those of a hollyhock (2 inches 

 across) ; some of them showed signs of 

 prolifieation. There were thirteen fully 

 expanded flowers upon a spike, and 

 thirty to open. The leaves were unusu- 

 ally large. 



Soil that has been firmly compressed 

 after having first been well pulverized 

 seems to produce the best results in 

 nearly all cases. For the majority of 

 plants it is best to tread with the "foot 

 the beds and border previous to plant- 

 ing. The result is a generally more 

 healthy growth, a more floriferous habit, 

 and improved color in leafage and 

 flower. Firm soil retains moisture much 

 longer than loose ground and its fer- 

 tility is not so rapidly exhausted. -And 

 weeds spring up much less frequently in 

 soil that has been well firmed. 



The new bedding lobelia, Mrs. Cli- 

 bran, is a very good variety. It has a 

 compact habit, and indigo-blue flowers 

 with white center.
