very rich colour ; it can be raised from seed in June and 

 planted eighteen inches apart in October, with the Tulips 

 between. 



(2) The Lyre Flower, Dielytra or Dicentra spectabilis, 

 with Forget-me-not Royal Blue. The Lyre Flower is a 

 most graceful plant, with long arched stems of pink 

 flowers ; it is hardy except in very exposed places, but 

 does not like strong, cold winds. Roots may be planted 

 two feet apart in autumn. 



(3) The Campernelle Narcissus rugulosus and Forget- 

 me-nots. The Narcissus named is small-flowered, but 

 very strong, free-blooming, bright and lasting. 



(4) The same Narcissus mixed with the fine blue 

 Hyacinth Grand Maitre over a groundwork of Yellow 

 Polyanthuses. 



(5) Narcissus Sir Watkin interplanted with yellow 

 Wallflowers. 



(6) A pink Hyacinth on a groundwork of double 

 white Arabis. The latter can be raised from cuttings in 

 summer. 



(7) The orange-coloured Tulip Thomas Moore mixed 

 with Wallflower Eastern Queen on a groundwork of 

 orange, yellow and cream Polyanthuses. 



(8) Tulip Pink Beauty on a groundwork of double 

 Arabis.

 and Aubrietias last into June he is not perturbed, for 

 his reserve stock of various good annuals such as Asters, 

 Nemesias and Salpiglossis, also of Pentstemons, Begonias, 

 Tobaccos and Snapdragons, keeps him confident. The
