GENERAL REMARKS. 



A very handsome plant for 

 rougher parts of the gar- 

 den. Picturesque silvery- 

 toned leaves and brownish 

 flower scapes. Easily in- 

 creased by division of the 

 roots. 



This is not a plant for small 

 borders, it is too rough ; 

 but for grouping in the 

 wilder parts is very useful. 

 Increased byroot division. 

 Also called Telekia spe- 

 ciosa. 



Very pleasing plant ; likes a 

 rather moist soil. 



See separate article. 



Easily grown and raised 

 from seed. 



Loamy soil ; very strong- 

 growing, silvery - leaved 

 plant ; spikes of yellow 

 flowers ; often beautiful 

 on a wall. 



Strong plant ; too much so 

 ordinary borders. 



Quite happy almost any- 

 where. 



The Wallflower is a fra- 

 grant and familiar garden 

 flower, scenting the bor- 

 ders with its rich perfume 

 in the springtime of the 

 year. It is often happy 

 in the chinks and crevices 

 of old walls. There are 

 many varieties, some quite 

 dwarf, but these are not 

 so graceful as those of 

 taller growth. Very effec- 

 tive are such kinds as 

 Belvoir Castle, much used 

 in the famous spring gar- 

 dening at Belvoir Castle ; 

 Harbinger, and the 

 rich-coloured blood-red. 

 There are double Wall- 

 flowers, too, but these are 

 without the grace and 

 beauty of flower form 

 conspicuous in the single 

 kinds. Wallflowers are 

 easily raised from seed 

 sown in early May. 

 Transplant the seedlings, 

 otherwise the tap root 

 develops unchecked. It 

 is wise to plant the Wall- 

 flowers in their perma-
