SHORTIA GALACIFOLIA. 



This charming little spring-flowering 

 plant is undoubtedly one of the gems 

 of the garden in the early days of the 

 year. In the month of March the droop- 

 ing, white, prettily-fringed flowers, held 

 aloft above the crimsoned leaves on pinK 

 foot-stalks, are perhaps more beautiful 

 than any of the showier spring irises 

 that are in bloom at the same period. 

 Discovered over 100 years ago in the 

 mountainous region of North Carolina, 

 it was lost to botanists for the best part 

 of a century, but introduced into culti- 

 vation in this country in 1877. Al- 

 though since that date the species has 

 been largely imported, it is by no means 

 always to be found in good health in 

 gardens. 



A compost of sandy peat and sphag- 

 num moss has been recommended for its 

 culture, and in this the plants are doing 

 excellently with me ; but I may say that 

 I have seen plants exhibiting robust 

 vigor in pure fibrous loam, in loam and 

 leaf-mold, and even in soil containing 

 sufficient lime to render the culture of 

 rhododendrons a failure, though soil of 

 the last description was at one time held 

 to be fatal to success with tiie shortia. 

 One essential evidently is that the com- 

 ))08t should be porous, for the plant ap- 

 pears to resent stagnant moisture about 

 its roots in the winter. 



Considerable difference of opinion ex 

 ists as to the correct site for the shortia. 

 Some recommend that it should be grown 

 in shade, and a friend who knows the 

 plant in its native habitat assured me 

 that it carpeted the ground beneath 

 trees; but in this country entire ab- 

 sence of direct sunlight seems to prevent 

 the foliage from assuming that crimson 

 tint which is one of the chief beauties of 

 the plant, and renders it such an at- 

 tractive object in the autumn. Possibly 

 a, position on the north side of a rock- 

 mass, where it may obtain about three 

 hours' sunshine in the summer, is as 

 good a site as can be suggested. My 

 plants are growing in just such a spot, 

 and both, situation and soil appear to l)e 

 to their liking.— S. W. Fitzherbert in 

 the Gardeners ' Chronicle.
