This handsome species belongs to a small genus of 

 .South -American bulbous plants. The flowers are about 

 the size of a florin ; the spreading starry segments are 

 white, shaded a lovely soft lilac-blue. Planted in a 

 warm border it will flower freely from March till May 

 The small bulbs may be bought very cheap. Once in four 

 or five years they should be lifted and replanted as they 

 multiply freely. One remembers a very fine efi"ect pro- 

 duced hy' this — planted on a rockery, in association 

 with Anemone fulgens and Ttilipa sylvestris. 



Notes. 



Marigold. — This is an old garden favourite, and one 

 of the best for autumn and winter flowering in cottage 

 gardens.. It is a biennial and hardy, and for late 

 flowering its seeds should be sown in July. Its petals 

 used to be used to flavour dishes, hence its name " pol 

 marigold." Canaries are very fond of the blossoms, 

 and it is said that they improve and deepen the colour 

 of their plumage.

The Lancashire County Council has set an example 

 that might well be followed by other county authorities. 

 This body has recently passed a resolution that no 

 more hideous advertisement boards be erected in the 

 beautiful lake districts in the county, and that those 

 that are already there be immediately taken down. It 

 is about time that some restraint be put upon the out- 

 rageous eyesores erected by adventurous advertisers 

 throughout the beauty spots of our country.
