eye ; and F. von Lassberg, a glorious white. To these 

 might be added Elizabeth Campbell, salmon ; claimed 

 to be superior to the famous salmon-pink Mrs. Oliver, 

 but both are beautiful varieties, and unsurpassed in 

 their colour ; Mrs. John Harkness, salmon with crimson 

 eye ; Antonin Mercie, lavender ; and Dove, white suffused 

 with pink, thus making one of the finest collections of 

 this magnificent plant which it would be possible to get 

 together. 



PHYSALIS BUNYARDI is a new and fine form of 

 Winter Cherry. Franchetti had already taken the place 

 of the old type. 



PYRETHRUM. Although not of primary importance, 

 the single and double Feverfews are so useful in the border, 

 owing to their early bloom, bright colours and abundant 

 flowering, that they must be given attention. One 

 finds them amenable to most soils, and most readily 

 propagated by division ; indeed, there is no hardy 

 herbaceous plant more easily grown. There is not an 

 active demand for novelties, and with such good doubles 

 as Captain Nares, dark crimson ; Carl Vogt, white ; 

 Pericles, yellow ; Carneum Plenum, flesh ; and La Vestale, 

 blush ; and such useful singles as Carmen Sylva, blush ; 

 Coccinea, purplish red ; Hamlet, rose ; James Kelway, 

 scarlet ; Jubilee, crimson ; and Vivid, aramanth, the 

 field is adequately filled. However, a little special 

 interest attaches to the double pink Queen Mary and 

 the singles Ornement, magenta ; Mr. Wm. Kelway, 

 pink ; Golconde, crimson ; and John Malcolm, pink. 



ROMNEYA COULTERI is a magnificent plant in deep 

 rich soil and a sheltered position. It attains the dimen- 

 sions of a large shrub, and bears great white Poppy-like 

 flowers with golden stamens.
