PEBENNIALS FROM SEED. 



Will you please tell us through The 

 Eeview whether or not Budbeckia 

 Golden Glow or Rudbeckia Golden Eay 

 makes seed? Also, whether lycium or 

 matrimony vine makes seed? We never 

 see any of the above seed offered for 

 sale in any of the catalogues. 



We have a white perennial sweet 

 alyssum that blooms from the last part 

 of April until frost. It is perfectly 

 hardy and grows on the desert here 

 in New Mexico, where but few weeds 

 and grass can live. It grows from 

 twelve to eighteen inches high. We 

 have zero weather every winter. We 

 never see anything in the catalogues 

 of such a plant. We do not see why 

 there is not a good future for it. 



A. G. 



Lycium, or matrimony vine, carries 

 fruits which contain seeds. The plant, 

 however, is so easily propagated from 

 layers, suckers or cuttings that seed 

 is hardly ever ofiFered. The rudbeckias 

 named, in common with some other 

 double flowers, do not make seed so 

 freely as single flowers do. Even if 

 they did, it is doubtful if it would 

 be worth oflfering, as these particular 

 sorts are such rank growers that it is 

 more of a question of how to keep them 

 within bounds rather than increasing 

 their numbers. 



The hardy sweet alyssum you speak 

 of I do not know and it should cer- 

 tainly be a useful commercial plant, 

 flourishing as it does under such ad- 

 verse conditions and flowering over 

 so long a period. Send a specimen to 

 your State Experiment Station and 

 ascertain its name. As it probably 

 seeds freely, it should be easily possi- 

 ble to disseminate it. C. W. 



Great Neck, N. Y.— George E. Lasher 

 has been cutting excellent snapdragons 

 and Purity freesias and making daily 

 shipments to the New York market. 



Gorham, Me. — Eoland Barrows ex- 

 pects to build another greenhouse, 

 30x100, in the spring, and will stock it 

 with carnations.
