FROM OUR ENGLISH EXCHANGES. 



The Gardeners' Magazine. 



New FORMS of the more popular mar- 

 ket ferns are brought forward from time 

 to time but really new forms of other 

 ferns are seldom seen. The new variety 

 of Lomaria ciliata, raised at Edmonton, 

 and exhibited as L. Mlayi, is therefore the 

 more interesting ; moreover, it is a beauti- 

 ful fern, with long, arching fronds of a 

 rich green color, and of a much moi'e 

 graceful and elegant habit than possessed 

 by those of the type. 



I HAVE SEEN the purple cobsea used 

 upon a white-painted trellis against a 

 stono house, with most excellent effect. 

 Some gardeners allow cobseas to ramble 

 over the outsides of too sunny green- 

 houses, thus securing a natural shade 

 within, and a unique beauty without. 



A VERY FINE new garden plant was 

 shown last season under the provisional 

 name of Nicotiana rosea. It has now 

 proved so good and grows so freely from 

 seed that it has been re-ehristened N. 

 Sanderoe. Whether of more than annual 

 duration we do not yet know, but the 

 plant can be located either as a half- 

 hardy or a hardy annual. It grows from 

 two and one-half to three and one-half 

 feet high, and produces a profusion of 

 blossoms on branching spikes ; the flowers 

 are like those of N. affinis in form, but 

 their color- varies in different plants, 

 from light rose to richest rose-red. 



A PLANT OF Odontoglossum crispuni 

 Cooksonite, one old and one new bulb, re- 

 cently sold at auction for $3,350. It 

 was in a lot from N. C. Cookson, eighty- 

 one plants realizing over $25,000. 



I AVONDER how the clever little Jap 

 gauges his profit on his dwarfed trees, 

 for, whatever the latter may be, one can- 

 not say much for the quickness of the 

 returns when one hears of a specimen 

 growing a matter of 300 years, and then 

 selling for $80, and the natural decision 

 arrived at is that pigmy tree growing is 

 not such a paying business as the pres- 

 ent trade in boomed potato plants. 



The CULTIVATION of the cornflower is 

 i>f the simplest. The seed should be 

 sown where the plants are to bloom, and 

 light, open positions should as far a^ 

 practicable be selected for the groups. 

 Sowings may be made at the end of 

 March, or early in April; but the best 

 n&ults are obtained from sowing at 

 the end of the summer. Plants raised 

 from seed sown at that period become 

 more deeply rooted, and make a more 

 vigorous growth than do those obtained 

 from spring sowings, and continue in 

 bloom a much longer period. The seed- 

 lings should be thinned moderately in 

 the autumn, and receive their final thin- 

 ning to four or five inches apart just 

 as new growth is commencing. Spring 



raised plants will not require so much 

 space, as they do not grow so vigorously. 

 Where liberal supplies of cut flowers 

 arc required during the summer months 

 a row each of the blue aild white formB 

 should bo grown in the kitchen garden, 

 preferably from autumn-sown seed.
