42 JOTTINGS OF A GENTLEMAN GARDENER 



said previously they must not be left in the seed-bed longer 

 than need be. They may also be grown in dry walls, as 

 also may the Erysimum ; a few seeds should be sown in 

 pockets of soil in June, and kept watered through the 

 summer. The best wallflower for this is a dwarf one, such 

 as Old Castle, which is very hardy and reaches a height of 

 10 ins. Or if the wall garden is being built in the spring, 

 strong roots of wallflowers may be planted as the work 

 proceeds, and they invariably do well. 



For spring bedding varieties, the amateur is advised to 

 consult seedsmen's catalogues and choose for himself. 

 I give a few of the varieties below, and he should on no 

 account miss Button's Yellow Phoenix.
