1648 Pansy, Cliveden yellow perpetual flowering. A good yeUow colour is a great

 if the Cliveden yellow Pansy is used. For the spring garden summer-struck 

 cuttings are best ; for summer decoration spring-struck cuttings should be used 30 0 ... 4 G

CLIVEDEN COLLECTION OP SPRING FLOWERING PLANTS. 



1668 50 Perpetual Yellow Pansies, 50 do. Beautiful Blue Pansies, 50 do. Rich Purple Pansies, 50 Mixed 



Polyanthus, 100 ^Vhite Daisies, 100 Pink Daisies, 100 Rich Blue Forget-me-not, and 100 Pink 

 Silene, £5. 10s. Half the above quantity, 57s. Grf. ; Quarter the above quantity, 30s; One- 

 eighth the above quantity, 15s. %d. 

 The above hardy plants cannot be other than a boon to those whose accommodation for wintering 

 plants is hmited. Most of them are spring-blooming, and must be removed to make way for the 

 summer plants ; amongst them, however, are several the beauty and effectiveness of which in the summer 

 flower-garden cannot be over-estimated ; indeed, in some gardens, they are considered indispensable 

 adjuncts in beds, ribbons, and edgings. Amongst the foliage plants suitable we may name Arabis 

 mollis variegata, Cerastiiim tomentosum, Stachys lanata, Vinca elegantissima, Tussilago variefata and 

 Euonymus radicans variegata ; and amongst the flowering plants, the different coloured Pansies, the 

 Viola cornuta and Viola calcarata. Success with some of these, however, is a question of mana^'cment. 

 In temperate seasons, the autumn plantings of Arabis, Cerastium, Pansies, and Viola answer vei-y fairly 

 druing summer; but in a season such as we have just passed through, it has been found that greater 

 success has been attained by replanting the Arabis and Cerastium at the time of bedding out the summer 

 plants ; and that spring-struck Pansies and Violas of the sorts above-named have continued bloomin"' 

 without intermission dming the hot weather. °
