BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS 



bay. Should it appear, however, the foliage must be dusted at 

 once with flowers of sulphur. 



The main difficulty of the authors of a gardening work which is 

 to have permanent value is that of dealing with varieties. Species 

 are fixed, varieties are ever changing. The novelty of one year 

 is the veteran of the third or fourth year afterwards. In certain 

 very popular flowers, notably Roses, Sweet Peas, Dahlias, and 

 Chrysanthemums, whole strings of new varieties come out every 

 year. For this reason we cannot give lists of varieties that we 

 are sure will be as desirable in a few years' time as they are 

 to-day. We can only name some of those which are the best at 

 the time of writing. They may or may not be superseded a few 

 years hence.
