436 JOUENAL OF THE EOYAL HOETICULTUEAL SOCIETY, 



PENTSTEMONS AT WISLEY, 1909. 



One hundred and ninety stocks of Pentstemons were planted for trial at 

 the end of May in good soil that had been previously well cultivated 

 and moderately manured. The great majority made excellent growth 

 and blossomed profusely. The collection generally showed a marked 

 improvement on the old type ; the spikes being longer, the flowers 

 larger, and including many new shades of colour : No. 184 — " Schwester 

 Sophie," practically a pure white, was especially admired. The Floral 

 Committee examined the collection on three occasions.
