ROMNEYA COULTERI. 



This plant is not generally regarded 

 as one of the easiest of cultivation, but 

 when success is attained the result is 

 specially gratifying. At the time of 

 writing Bomneya Coulteri is the most 

 charming subject in my garden, says a 

 writer in the Gardeners' Chronicle. 

 Nearly 200 flowers are open at once, 

 and of the buds there are as many 

 again to open. Some idea may be ob- 

 tained of the effect and fragrance by 

 any one acquainted with the Californian 

 poppy. Little difficulty has been experi- 

 enced in cultivating the plants. It is 

 always necessary, however, to make a 

 good start and iu a suitable site. The 

 position chosen here is under a terrace 

 wall having a southwest aspect. At the 

 foot of the wall a trench of two and 

 one-half feet was taken out, and a drain- 

 age of broken bricks and lime rubble 

 to a depth of one foot was returned, on 

 the top of which a very porous compost, 

 consisting of turfy loam and road grit 

 in equal proportions, together with 

 plenty of finely broken brick and lime 

 rubble, well incorporated, was placed. 

 These conditions allow of the applica- 

 tion of copious supplies of diluted farm- 

 yard soakage during the season of 

 growth, but insure a dry bottom dur- 

 ing the resting period, which is most 

 essential. Six plants planted four 

 years ago have each season be- 

 come stronger, and this season 

 growths eight feet and nine feet in 

 length, strong and healthy looking, have 

 been made.
