^Diplopappus chrysophyllus 



Is a little 4 ft. evergreen that will grow in ordinary 

 garden soil, and can be raised in the spring with the 

 aid of very little heat, from seed or cuttings inserted in 

 sand. Its leaves are like those of a variegated thyme, 

 and its flowers like tiny yellow asters, and appear in 

 April. 



Elteagnus pungens 



Is a very ornamental evergreen that will grow in 

 the South of England to a height of 6 ft. in any ordinary 

 soil that is tolerably dry. Its leaves are about 3 ins. 

 long, bright green above, and silvery below, much the 

 same colour as the flowers, which are therefore not 

 very noticeable, but to compensate for that they are 

 deliciously sweet, and appearing as they do in October 

 and November, their gardenia-like scent is doubly at- 

 tractive. There are several very handsome variegated 

 forms of it, and they can all be easily increased by 

 seeds, layers, or cuttings
