IN llio Tirst Scries llic eunimou 

 wullllower is deseribed un- 

 der its o'eiierally accepted 

 name oC C7/i'iri//////ti.\ rhe'iri . 

 The jDlant before us bears 

 a name wliicli indicates its 

 close relationship to the 

 ^^■alltlo\ver proper^ and it is 

 also known as Erijuiiniun 

 oc/ir(jlt'iiciiiii, which con- 

 nects it with the c munon 

 treacle mustard and other 

 four-parted ja'llow Ihiwer- 

 in!4' plants of like character. 

 The true wallthiwer is of 

 uni\-ersal use in gardens, its 

 sturdy g-rowth, brilliant 

 colours, and fresh spicy 

 fragrance insuring for it 

 general acceptance as one 

 of the most delightful products of spring. The so-called 

 Alpine wallflowers are not of universal use; but,, on the 

 other hand, they have some special claims on our regard as 

 valuable ad(jrnments of the rockery and the choice border.
