The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



1663 



THE RECORD ROCK GARDEN. 



I have seen many good rockeries and 

 have constructed some, but the one at 

 SwaylandB House Gardens, Penshurat, 

 Kent, is beyond anything of the same 

 kind known to me, says a writer in the 

 Gardeners' Chronicle. Mr. Hosier, the 

 gardener, told me that nearly $400,000 

 had been spent on this rock garden 

 alone. It was begun in 1891 and was 

 finished about four years ago, and more 

 than 8,000 varieties of plants have been 

 placed upon it. 



NEW POPPIES. 



Papavers Marion and Santa Clara are 

 a pair of poppies with double flowers, 

 annual varieties, well fitted for florists' 

 work, as in table decoration, where one 

 of two colors are desired. The plants 

 have nothing in common with those 

 ephemeral varieties of the P. somniferum 

 and paeoniflorum class, but form a new 

 type, a new race. The plants remain in 

 good bloom for a period of six weeks 

 y when in their first flowering period, and 

 if the seed vessels are removed a more 

 abundant second flowering takes place, 

 and the plants retain their succulent, 

 leathery foliage till frost ensues. The 

 flowers are furnished with long and stout 

 footstalks which carry them well above 

 the foliage, and may be cut from the 

 second flowering without injury to the 

 plant. Marion has large • snow-white 

 blooms, and Santa Clara is of a tender 

 lilac tint. The raiser is H. W. MUtze, of 

 Dahlen, near Steglitz, Germany.— H.

IXORAS. 



These are among the old favorites, 

 which seemed destined to drop out of 

 culture, and it is a source of satisfac- 

 tion to find that they are likely to come 

 to the front again. We do not want 

 large specimens, but small, useful plants. 

 During the last season H. B. May has 

 had a fine lot of plants. Grown without 

 80 much heat and shade as was formerly 

 giveji they are found to last fairly well. 

 The' same plants will hold their flowers 

 well for over a week, when used for 

 decoration, and the colors show up well 

 under subdued light. The best florists 

 fully appreciate their value; the prices 

 preclude them from being used for ordi- 

 nary work; but since some of the plants 

 which were at one time considered choice 

 have now become so common, it is neces- 

 sary to look for something fresh for 

 choice work, and in the ixoras we have 

 just what is wanted. 



Of the varieties, Dixiana appears to be 

 one of the best. Aurantiaca, Fraseri, 

 Williamsi, and amabilis are also useful, 

 and there may be others. It would 

 hardly bo profitable to grow the ixoras 

 in large quantities, but florists like to 

 know where to send for anything choice 

 when they have special work on hand. 



I believe there are other old introduc- 

 tions, which, if grown under more modern 

 conditions, would be worth taking up.
