IRISH GARDENING. 



" Plants for the Garden." 



THIS is the title of a new Spring publication 

 containing descriptive lists of the best varieties 

 of numerous classes of hardy perennials of easy 

 garden culture. It comprises choice collections of 

 Delphiniums, Phloxes, Pyrethrums (including a number 

 of novelties). Peonies, and a long list of herbaceous and 

 alpine plants for planting now. The weather has been 

 too cold and wet so far in most districts for moving these 

 plants, but it is now milder, and planting may, with 

 advantage, be proceeded with at oncf. The catalogue 

 is published by Messrs. Watsox & Soxs, Ltd., Clontarf 

 Nurseries, Dublin. Particulars are also given respect- 

 ing numerous popular and inexpensive bedding plants 

 of seasonable character, also of the firm's Gold Medal 

 Dahlias and Outdoor Chrysanthemums, for which they 

 are booking orders to be delivered in due season ; the 

 latter include the new Single varieties, which are rapidly 

 coming to the front. 



It is very important to obtain decent-sized clumps 

 when bujing herbaceous flowers and alpines, &c. , and 

 readers may depend upon obtaining good, sound stuff 

 from Clontarf. 



The book is nicely illustrated, and contains manj- 

 useful notes on culture. It may be obtained free on 

 application to Messrs. W.\rsON.

 j chilling w'eather experienced up to mid-March has 

 considerably cooled down the hot an.xiet}' shown bv 

 not a few in the matter of having a spring show, 

 which is nothing if not a daffodil show, without the 

 daffodil. Pallidus praecox was certainly flowering 

 during February in We.xford, and down south some- 

 thing else was written about, but there are alwa\s 

 a few misguided members in mo.st families, and this 

 one is not the exception, but in three weeks unin
