GARDENERS’

[Avevsr 24; 1895, 
but it is the exquisite and delicate oolouring into 
which no orudity or coarseness enters that con- 
stitutes one of their chiefest charms. 
The extraordinary character of this season seems 
to be maintained throughout, and now a spell of hot 
autumnal weather has set in after the heavy rains 
which we experienced in the latter part of July and 
the earlier part of August, we seem to be assured of 
а p supply of flowers. For the past few years 
I have adopted a plan which seems to inibi rag 
suit the Rose, namely, that of cutting out the old wood 
which has flowered and thus done its duty, for if the 
planta (of course, I am speaking of dwarfs), have done 
well, they will have sent up strong shoots, which will 
year. In

the plants, and thus tends to the ripening of the 
wood, When these new shoots are very qe it ye

THE DAISY, BELLIS PERENNE 
Your illustration of Daisy The. Bride recalls й 
my mind the once prominent part Daisies used t 
form in our spring bedding. The lovers of thi 
flower will not have forgotten the great display 
spring flowers at the late Mr. Quilters grounds, 
Lower Aston, during the year 1873, in which th 
modest Daisy played so prominent a part, I havem 
vivid a recollection of it now as I have of the boiler 
trials, and the ladies falling over the muddy planks, 
scrambling to get a view of the Sultan of Zanziba, 
Here the Daisy and Viola tried to outvie each other 
in quantity and get i but the Daisy tok 
the lead. Nowhere was the Daisy to be seen in meh 
quantities and dictio as at Aston; 16 not only 
formed long vandyked lines, zigzag an 
beds, various other designs, but filled up in maet 
some of the most prominent places in the 
Now in some of our prominent public gardens wher 
flowers are planted in the beds to a spring 
display, the Daisy is not to be found, as, for hes 
Hampton Court, where nearly the only spring flowert 
are about three colours of Polyanthus, or bunch Prim 
rose, more properly called; these are very well done, 
and make a good display, but every one gets tired of 
the same thing year after year. Now, if some d 
these beds were edged with Daisies, Violas, A 
&c., they would certainly prove more in T 
active. Even carpet-beds could be made¢ the 
different varieties of Daisies, which, I venture touf, tomy,
