standard, both the Japanese honeysuckle and 

 golden-banded lily deserve our warmest praise. 



Some of the roses also are flowering for the 

 second time. Among them I mark especially 

 Marguerite de St. Amande, Marshall P. Wilder, 

 and Paul Neyron. With them the following 

 may be named as among the most free-blooming 

 autumnal sorts: Comtesse de Serenye, Rev. J. 

 B. M. Camm, Boieldieu, Francois Michelon, 

 Mabel Morrison, Louis Van Houtte, La Reine, 

 John Hopper, Baroness Rothschild, Baron Pre- 

 vost, Countess of Oxford, Eugenie Verdier, Marie 

 Beaumann, Victor Verdier, Hippolyte Jamain, 

 Horace Vernet. 



Very companionable during August and Sep- 

 tember are the althaeas, almost the only flower- 

 ing shrubs blossoming at this time. In the rear 

 garden there is a swarm of bright flowering an- 

 nuals petunias, verbenas, calendulas, escholt- 

 zias, nasturtiums, and marigolds. Herrick tells 

 how marigolds came yellow : 



Jealous girls these sometimes were 



While they lived or lasted here : 



Turned to flowers, still they be 



Yellow markt for jealousie. 



This may apply to the orange-colored kinds, not 

 to the big double lemon-yellows, too handsome 

 to be jealous of any flowers of their color.
