CUT FLOWERS. 
(Concluded from p. 6.) 
ONTINUING my notes of observation, 
I may remark that the small grey-blue 
flowers of Eryngium maritimum (Sea Holly), 
those of the pinkish Anemone hybrida, and the 
black Privet-like berries of Actea spicata (Herb 
Christopher), looked well with suitable green. 
At same time (August), re ice 
Clematis Jackmanni, and Scarlet Pelargonium, 
Dr. Lindley, formed a beautiful colnbinatiod: 
In November long pieces of Fuchsia gra- 
-cilis vanga, give slight pinkish spikes of 
foliage for h glass. A large glass of dif- 
ferent py such as large blue A. bessarabicus, 
small lilac A. dumosus (almost white), A. multi- 
florus, with a few sprays of the sulphur Achillea 
serrata (Milfoil), and two or three bright flowers 
of a yellow Rudbeckia, make a nosegay that will 
not fade, or spoil the water after being two 
weeks in the room. The little Virginian ae! 
Ampelopsis Veitchii, of a lovely red in Novem 
ber, makes a charming trailer for this com- 
bination. Two other fine trailers, although not 
strictly hardy, are Maurandya Barclayana and 
Sedum carneum variegatum, This last for a 
stove basket is unexceptionable, and has out- 
lasted two crops of various Tradescantias. The 
o "anes leaves do not turn se and it hangs 
in, to 
the light, as so 
one’s 
k g 
plans. This- way of hamisi is most desirable 
for water, in which it also roots, and lasts 
for several changes of flowers. 
In Sept tember a np e glass may be composed 
of the foliage of Ribes aureum (yellow flowered 
Gooseberry), then of a as dark red colour ; pale 
yellow-flowered Lysimachia ciliata, whose shoots 
are of a good brown when first coming up in 
spring, and a dena ar of Corydalis solida. 
Late in the mall trailing pieces of the 
wild Vicia Graces a (tufted Vetch), look well ; also 
“lophantha, for which it is often taken. 
I do not know why Gypsophila so seldom 
expands its tiny blossoms with us. The plants 
were received some direct from Germany and 
others from Salter’s
