IRISH GARDENING. 



Notes. 



Scutellaria alpina. 



A VERY useful July flowtuirii;; rock plant, S. 

 alpina is not often seen in private collections, yet 

 it forms a pretty mound of flowers, and is not 

 fastidious regarding soil provided drainage is 

 good. Attaining at the most about a foot in 

 height, frequently less, a well-flowered plant ^s 

 quite an attractive feature. The flowers are of 

 a rather pleasant shade of purple, marked with 

 > ellow on the lip, which gives a bright appearance 

 to the flowers. 



Increased by means of seeds or cuttings of the 

 young shoots in spring. 



Alpinist. 



Syringa Yunnanensis. 



About the middle of this June, 1916, there 

 flowered here for the first time Syringa Yun- 

 nanensis. The bloom is of a pale blush-pink 

 when in bud, turning to white when fully 

 developed ; the foliage is of medium size, and, 

 though not an unpleasing plant, it does not 

 appear to be of the highest order of merit. It is, 

 however, difficidt to speak with any confidence 

 about a shrub which is not fully grown and has 

 only produced one or two spikes of flower.
