The Qolden-feathtT Pyrethrum ii indeed the gar- 

 dener's friend, always t > relied upon. In spring 

 it looks like maiset of gold ; in summer it reliaves 

 the sombre lines, lighting up the whole garden, 

 and harmanijing with ecerything, pre-eniinently 

 with green. At Baiter»ei Park th^. rtnes( carpet 

 beds perhaps ever seen were f.irmcd wiih AUernan- 

 thera and small nlants of the Golden Feather. 

 Plants should not ne propagated from cuttings, but 

 only from seed, as the latter continue longer in con- 

 dition. Sow tevirai times a year under glass, or 

 in any fhtdy corner out of doors. Partkenium

 sown several titrus during the year fsr a succession, 

 but especially in autumn for spring decoratici/i. In 

 the flswer garden they are beautiful.

Picturesque, gigantic, umbrageous, elegant foliage plants, in autumn studded with grotesque fruit. Their 

 aspect is truly oriental. In sub-tropical gardens they are indispensable, while in shrubbery borders, by the sides of 

 ravines, rivulets, and lakes, they impart a majesty possessed by few, if any, other plants. Fro7n seed they speedily 

 attain gigantic proportions, and arc ornamental till destroyed by the frost.
