THE WALLUYLOW ER. 3 
known by the same name, and therefore we cannot always 
determine with precision the flowers referred to when 
gillivor or gilloflower oceurs in our older literature. The 
Latin name, Cheiranthus, means © hand-flower,”’ and it is 
most appropriate. 
The cultivation of this flower is an extremely simple 
affair. The seeds should be sown on a plot of newly-dug 
ground in the month of May; and during rainy weather in 
July, the plants should be transplanted into rows a foot 
apart, and the plants six inches apart in the rows. In 
September or October they should be lifted with care and 
be at once planted where they are to flower, and in the 
months of April and May following they will be gay 
enough. The best of the double kinds is the sulphur 
yellow, which may be grown into a tree of considerable 
size, and if planted in a dry sunny situation will last any 
number of years, and may, indeed, become the pride of the 
garden. To multiply this variety, cuttings are taken, 
when they are full-grown but have not become woody, 
and being planted firmly im sandy soil and kept shaded or 
covered with a hand-elass, soon make roots, and in the 
following spring they may be planted out. Well-grown 
deuble walls make fine pot plants for the conservatory, and 
with a little careful forcing may be had-in bloom at the 
turn of the year, and will continue flowering until mid- 
summer. The conditions of suecess are to be found in the 
employment of a gritty and somewhat calcareous soil, and 
affording the plants at all times plenty of hght and air. 
Darkness and damp are death to wallflowers.
