MARGYRICARPUS SETOSUS (Peru). A shade- 
loving plant, adapted for the north side of a 
bog or shady side of the rockery. Very useful 
for creeping over banks, the bright green 
foliage and pure white berries making a nice 
contrast. Loam, leaf-mould, and sand; top- 
dress in the autumn, and add a little rough 
crit to the compost. 
Mazus PuMILIO (New Zealand). This 
small creeping plant does well either in the 
sun or shade. If grown in the sun a little 
peat and leaf-mould should be added to the 
loam. A sloping bank amongst the rocks 
suits it admirably. If on the shady and 
damp side of the rockery gritty, sandy loam is 
most suitable, with a top-dressing of pure 
grit in the autumn to prevent damping during 
winter. Mazus rugosus (China) is not quite 
so hardy, and should be planted on a more 
sheltered part full south, using the same 
compost. 
MECONOPSIS WALLICHI (Azmalayas, better 
known as the Himalayan Poppy). Requires 
a damp, shady place, with abundance of water 
at the roots during the summer _ season. 
Strong loam and peat; a little grit added to the
