CONANDRON RAMONDIOIDES. This choice and rare 

 Japanese gesneraceous plant is of much interest. It 

 resembles the well-known Ramondia, and hence the 

 specific name. The flowers are pale mauve in colour, 

 on stems about nine inches high, and are produced in 

 spring. It likes a shady spot, with plenty of peat in the 

 soil. 



CORIS MONSPELIENSIS. A very pretty plant with 

 lavender flowers lightened by orange anthers, on spikes 

 about six inches high, in early summer. It is a gem for 

 sandy soil and sunny spots. 



CORONILLA CAPPADOCICA (SYN. IBERICA). The 



Crown Vetches are a numerous genus, and the majority 

 are shrubs, but the species named is a pretty trailer with 

 creamy flowers borne in a spike a few inches high in 

 summer ; it is well suited to the rockery. 



CORYDALIS (FUMITORY). Pretty plants, but need-

 weeds ; this is particularly the case with lutea. Nobilis 

 is a better plant. Wilsoni, with grey leaves, and cheir- 

 anthifolia, with creamy, fern-like foliage, are rare species 

 which are worth places. The claims of tomentosa, 

 with yellow flowers, might also be weighed. 



CYCLAMENS. The hardy Cyclamens, such as coum, 

 europaeum and neapolitanum and their varieties, are 

 beautiful little plants and never look better than when 

 planted in small colonies. They love a shady spot, 

 shelter from cold winds in spring and well-drained 

 loamy soil. They may be grown on the rockery, or 

 naturalized under a tree or north wall. 



DAPHNES. Both Blagayana and Cneorum are of 

 prostrate habit, and well adapted for the rockery. The
