IRISH GARDENING. 



Correspondence. 



My excellenl neighbours, the .Misses Orme, had 

 a wonderful plan! of Myosotis antartica this year ; 

 i\ did not flower in L912 and carried on to L913, 

 and was a ihass of yellow. Enclosed their photo. 

 The ruler is a fool rule. Can you reproduce it 

 in your paper ? 



With me it has been three years an annual 

 seeding freely. A.1 Knapton it has carried on 

 for two years I think. We have neither of us 

 had anything like Miss Orrne's specimen.

[Unfortunately the photograph would not 

 make a good reproduction, bul it shows an 

 extremely fine specimen of this rare yellow Forget- 

 me-Not, apparently more than 2 feel through E3d] 



1 1 oi ticu] tubal Shows. 

 It is to be regretted that the secretaries of 

 various counties do not communicate with each 

 other before finally fixing dates of their respective 

 shows, and thereby obviate, or at least diminish, 

 clashing, rendering the attendance of nurserymen 

 impossible or very onerous. 



July 30 was selected by half dozen societies 

 Enniscorthy, Kingstown, and others and August 

 L5th, Naas and Nenagh, and so on. 



The trade exhibits are a feature of most shows. 

 wh> not therefore facilitate its support ? [f all the 

 various societies were affiliated with R. II. s.. 

 hul.lin.it would simplify toj this end. Yours,

Viola Cornuta Papilto Bybrid. 

 I have flowering in my garden a, Viola which I 

 can only conjecture must he a hybrid between 

 V. cornuta Papilio and V. bosniaca. 



V. cornuta Papilio seeds all over the garden, 

 hut varies very little indeed, all the flowers being

of ;i soft lavender-blue, and in three years I have 

 never seen any marked variation from this colour. 



The new plant, however, whilst retaining the 

 attractive shape of V. cornuta Papilio, has 

 flowers of a beautiful reddish purple, very clear 

 and brilliant. 



The only other Viola I had in flower last year 

 likely to give such a colour was V. bosniaca, and 

 this seedling is growing only about two yards 

 from where V. bosniaca was growing. 



It will I think be a very attractive plant when 

 larger, bul like a, II the cornutas is a little si raggling 

 in habit.
