WALL FLOWER— (Cheiranthus Cheiri). 



The large, massive spikes of the wall flower are very- 

 conspicuous in beds and borders, and are very useful in 

 making bouquets. Sow the seed early, in hot-bed, and while 

 the plants are small, prick them out into pots, and sink the 

 pots in the earth. On approach of cold weather remove 

 the pots to the house, and they will bloom all winter. 

 Tender perennial ; one and a-half feet high.
