ON FLOWERING PLANTS DPON A LAWN. 151 



ARTICLE VI. — On Flowering Plants, suitable for a 

 Bed, upon a Lawn. By Miss Emily Armstrong^ 



On the 23d dav of May, I perused an article in your excellent 

 periodical, named The FloricuHural Cabinet, signed Violet, Vi- 

 ■ara^e, Wilts, requesting the names of Perennials, Annuals, and 

 (o occupv two beds, in a lawn, soil loamy. At his re- 

 quest, being a Sister Priestess, I transmit this article to the Edi- 

 tor, on the 28th day of the same month, for insertion ; and recom- 

 mend the following select collection to Violet's consideration, as 

 uniting beauty of colour, easiness of culture, long continuance 

 in bloom, and adapted to the soil, as stated by him : — Perennials,' 

 Donble Ragged Robin, varieties, red and white ; Double Catch- 

 llv.red ; Lychnis, scarlet"; Potentilla (cinquefoil),Russelliana and 

 Ncpalensis ; Lvchnidea, varieties, lilac and white; Monarda, 

 rlct ; "Mule Pink, red; Double Rocket, white; Siberian Lark- 

 stHir, purple, a lively plant ; the above about two feet in height, 



■ 



except Mule pink; Lofty Bee Larkspur, five to six feet; Mullein,, 



hie; Tree Primrose, three feet; Neapolitan Violet, humble "in 



jrrowth, spreads freely, flowering during summer and autumn. — • 



Annuals, the Clarkia, pulchclla and alba ; Sweet Pea varieties ; 



iiothcra Lindleyii, German Aster, and large white Candy Tuft, 

 T would prefer. Shrubs, moderate in size, elegant in outline, — 

 Cvtisuses ; Red-flowered Bladder Senna ; Persian Lilac ; Scorpion 

 Senna ; Aculba Japonica ; Fuchsia gracilis, being hardy ; Lupin 

 tree, together with Moss, Velvet, Blush, Provence, and Cabbage 



se trees. These are a small portion of what I have cultivated 



;c manv years pa-st. New varieties may be suggested by other 

 correspondents ; but the question is, will they thrive in the soil 

 mentioned by vou, or arc they more beautiful in colour than those 

 above mentioned r 



would find Roses trained to wire trellis work or pillars 

 , extremely handsome ; the pillars could be formed of 



lot); ). expensive than iron.
