THE GARDEN 



Salpiglossis. — ^A free-blooming plant, of very- 

 brilliant coloring and striking variegation. 

 Really freakish in its peculiar markings. 



Stock (Gillyflower) . — A plant of great merit. 

 Flowers of the double varieties are like minia- 

 ture Roses, in spikes. Very fragrant. Fine for 

 cutting. Blooms until frost comes. Red, pink, 

 purple, white, and pale yellow. The single varie- 

 ties are not desirable, and as soon as a seedling 

 plant shows single flowers, pull it up. 



Sweet Pea. — This grand flower needs no de- 

 scription. It is one of the plants we must have. 



Verbena. — Old, but none the worse for that. 

 A free and constant bloomer, of rich and varied 

 coloring. Habit low and spreading. One of the 

 best plants we have for low beds, under the sit- 

 ting-room windows. Keep the faded flowers cut 

 off, and at midsummer cut away most of the old 

 branches, and allow the plant to renew itself, 

 as advised in the case of the Petunia. 



Wallflo'wer. — ^Not as much grown as it ought 

 to be. Delightfully fragrant. Color rich brown 

 and tawny yellow. General habit similar to that 

 of Stock, of which it is a near relative. Late 

 bloomer. Give it one season's trial and you will 

 be delighted with it. Not as showy as most 

 flowers, but quite as beautiful, and the peer of 

 any of them in sweetness.
