VIRGINIAN STOCK. Those who have attended the May Flower Shows at the Botanic Gardens, 

 Regent's Park, must have been struck with the rich effect of the long marginal lines of Virginian 

 Stock, from seed sown early in spring, the fresh pink colour of the flower thrown up by the rich deep 

 green of the lawn ; and as it is a long time since we have had anything novel in this way, we have 

 much pleasure in noting the following : — 



195 VIRGINIAN STOCK NEW PlGMY, described thus : " a single tuft forms a close erect mass, 6 inches 



high and 9 inclies in diameter, clothed with pure white flowers " i o 



196 VIRGINIAN STOCK YELLOW, bright lemon colour, strikingly contrasting with the red variety. ..6(/. & i o 



197 WIGANDIA IMPERIALIS, a superb new variety, described as " having larger and firmer leaves, 



and as being less easily injured by wind than the other varieties " ' 2 6

 there arc flower borders. As a pot plant they are well 2uo?-thy of a place under glass.
