THE FLOEAL WOKLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 11 



places, and the following list will give an idea what to plant in these 

 charming " nooks :" — 



Ajuga reptans variegata, a very beautiful plant. 



A. r. purpurea, dark purple foliage, effective for mingling with 

 light-coloured plants. 



Achillea tomentosa. 



Alyssum saxatile compaction, charming for its glaucous leaves and 

 yellow flowers. 



Cheiranthus alpina, or ochroleuca. 



Coronilla iberica, a most beautiful trailing plant, fleeces of golden 

 yellow flowers ; few plants are more charming than this. 



Cerastium tomentosum, indispensable for its massive silvery white- 

 ness ; most profuse bloomer. 



Crucianella stylosa, pretty, globular heads of pink flowers ; not 

 often seen : the more the pity. 



Eriophorum lanatum (Baliia lanatum), good. 



Geranium sanguinea, well known. 



0. Lancastriense, exquisite flowers, whitish, with deep pink veins, 

 a plant that everybody falls in love with. 



G. Lamberti, a rather rare and very beautiful cranesbill, trailing 

 flowers, rose with pure white centre. 



Gypsophylla repens, pretty panicles of white flowers, nice for 

 hanging over a ledge. 



Sieracium alpina, showy. 



Iberis corifolia, the finest of the evergreen candytufts, compact 

 heads of white. 



Lathyrus venosus, little known, very pretty. 



Polygonum vaccinifolium, beautiful ; those who have only room for 

 six rock plants should have this for one. 



Ranunculus reptans plena, a splendid double buttercup. 



Scabiosa graminifolia, fine silky foliage. 



Stachys lanata, a common but interesting plant. 



Saponaria ocymoides, sheets of pink flowers, fine. 



Tunica saxifraga, grass-like foliage, but there is a double variety 

 of this which I have not yet met with. 



Symphyandria pendula, little known ; a trailing kiud of cam- 

 panula, large creamy white flowers, of no use but on a stump or on 

 a block, as it grows dead flat on the ground ; fine for suspending. 



Teucrium multiflora, pretty pink. 



OnobrycJtis supina, this plant, though last on the list, is perhaps 

 first in merit. JS r eat glaucous pinnate foliage, with a profusion of 

 red drooping spikes of Clianthus-looking flowers; charming for 

 hanging over a ledge. 



The following are a few charming effective-looking Saxifrages and 

 Sedums, evergreen cushiony -looking plants, which of themselves 

 would be interesting at all seasons : — 



Saxifraga virescens, S. propendens, 8. geranioides, 8. Sclircederii, 

 8. densum, 8. liypnoides, 8. elongata, 8. muscoides, 8. palmata, S. pani- 

 culata, 8. platypetala, 8. Greenlandica, S. aspera. 



Sedum Foster •ianum, 8. lividum, S. dentkidatum, S. album. The 

 last is, perhaps, the most handsome of the Sedums.
