Paeonia, grand plants tor shrubberies, isolated 
specimens, and mixed flower borders 33 
Pancratium, very attractive, popularly called the 
"Peruvian Daffodil" 33 
Pardanthus chlnensls, a very effective plant, com- 
monly known as the " Leopard-spotted Flower' ' 33 
Pentlandla miniata, a floral gem of the easiest 
culture 33 
Phlox, herbaceous varieties. The grand heads 
of bloom which are produced by these mag- 
nificent plants are unsurpassed. Their effect 
in large beds on the lawn, and on shrubbery J 
borders, cannot be over-estimated 36 1 
Pyrethrum, double varieties. These, with their 
handsome profusion of large Aster-like flower 
and elegant foliage, take rank as first-class 
early summer bedding plants, and plants for 
the flower border, and to cut for furnishing j 
bouquets, etc 3® 1 
Ranunculus, Persian varieties. These are ele- 
gant in form and colour, and equally effective 
in filling parterres, or in furnishing cut flowers | 
for the drawing-room 21 
Ranunculus, Turban varieties. The flowers are 
conspicuously large, the colours brilliant, 
and the effect in the flower -garden exceed- 
ingly fine. To place in table jardinets as a 
cut flower they are very beautiful 22 > 
Rigidella immaculata. The beautiful flame- 
coloured flowers of this plant are very striking 33 | 
Sanguinaria canadensis, expanding its pretty 
white Ranunculus-likc flowers in shady spots... 33 
Saxifraga granulata flore pleno, an effective 
little plant as an edging or for small beds, etc. 33 
Schizostylis coccinea, matchless as a pot plant 
for flowering during autumn and winter ...... 33 
Scilla. Mrs. Loudon was wont to term the Scilla 
sibirica the loveliest of all spring flowers. In | 
edgings the effect of its colour is matchless. 
' Associated with Snowdrops in beds, the con- 
trast is lovely 2 4 
Snowdrop; planted thickly as an edging, and left 
undisturbed for years, its effect is of the first 
importance. The bulbs are exceedingly 
cheap ; and those who would enjoy a spring 
bed of pure white, edged with the richest in- 
tense blue, cannot do better than plant these 
thickly, and broadly edge with Scilla sibirica. 
Like the Crocus, they should be planted 
largely in ornamental grounds, amongst the 
grass, and in woods and semi-wild situations 
Sparaxls. Words fail to convey a just idea of 
the beauty of these : the coloured delineations 
of an Andrews or a Fitch alone could do it ... 
Spiraea Japonica. Wherever white flowers for 
bouquets are in demand, plants for table 
decoration, conservatory, or sitting-room, 
Spirte japonica pre-eminently meets the 
want. Spiraea palmata, red, just from Japan, 
is a real acquisition 
Strumaria. In pots these pretty little plants are 
greatly admired 
Thladiantha dubia, a rapid growing hardy climber 
Tlgridias. The gorgeous beauty of these tiger- 
spotted flowers is an unfailing source of 
admiration 
Trichonemas, charming little plants with graceful 
rush-like foliage 
Trillium, thg Wood Lily ; the white variety is 
fairer even than the white Lily, the purple 
rich and beautiful, a fine plant for shady and 
moist situations 
Triteleia uniflora, Should any of our readers 
desire plants in their spring gardens or con- 
servatories which are sure to arrest attention 
and elicit admiration, plant freely this charm- 
ing sweet-scented flower and the beautiful 
Scilla sibirica 
Tritoma, the most noble and effective of autumn 
flowering plants for interspersing in shrubbery 
borders and semi-wild places 
Tritonia. Few plants are more serviceable than 
these in supplying jardinets or as cut flowers. 
Crocata is grown extensively at Cliveden by

Mr. Fleming. It is simply necessary to put a 
few roots in a pot, place them in a cold frame, 
and, if they are required in bloom early, re- 
move to a gentle heat early in March, or, if 
the flowers are wanted later on, let them re- 
main in the cold frame 21 
Tropseolum, elegant plants for wire-globes and 
trellis work, especially under glass 34 
Tuberoses, double Italian, the most delightfully 
fragrant of white flowers which can be had in 
bloom from June to Christmas. They are 
greatly prized in bouquets, and for ladies' 
dresses and gentlemen's button-holes ; a single 
pot of three or four bulbs will be sufficient to 
perfume the conservatory, hall, or sitting-room 34 
Tulips, early dwarf Due Van Thol, red edged 
yellow. Plant these early in September and 
onwards in succession, and they can be forced 
into bloom from November 13 
Tulips, early single bedding varieties ; offered 
by the hundred at moderate prices to induce 
their being liberally planted in flower beds, in 
groups in the borders, or in-doors 13 
Tulips, early single, for pot culture or select 
beds. In this collection there are Tulips of 
extraordinary beauty, as regards size, colour, 
and marking M 
Tulips, double Due Van Thol. The exceedingly 
moderate price of these should lead to their 
being planted in long, broad lines in the 
flower border 15 
Tulips, double varieties. These furnish a succes- 
sion to the early single Tulips, and in planting 
should be so arranged as to form one of the 
links in the succession of flowers throughout 
the season. Tourucsol, flowers with the early 
single varieties, and is frequently associated 
very effectively in forming the divisional lines 
in designs ; while for in-door culture, several 
in a pot, this variety is matchless. Lxtre- 
mite d'Or, Imperator Rubrorum, and a few 
others, are also very effective in pots 15 
Tulip3, late flowering single. These bloom 
with the double varieties, and are exceedingly 
effective in beds or groups in the flower 
border 
Tulips, PaiTOt ; exceedingly interesting and beau- 
tiful, the combination and striking contrast of 
colour in the same flower is remarkable; and 
those who sttidy form, colour, and variety in the 
arrangement of their flower gardens should not 
overlook this section. Planted in hanging 
baskets so that the flowers droop over the 
sides, the effect is quite orchidaceous 
Tulips, Gesnerlana. Of all known varieties of 
the Tulip this is the most showy, and for dis- 
tant effect the most valuable 
Tulips, various. Here we have species as remark- 
able as they are beautiful. Amateurs who 
occasionally leave the beaten path to gaze 
upon beauties rarely met with in the flower 
garden, should purchase three each of this 
: collection 
I Vallota purpurea, one of the loveliest of autumn 
flowering bulbs, and one of the most effective 
; plants in the conservatory. . Its culture is so 
simple that no establishment should be with- 
out a large supply either for decoration or to 
cut for table bouquets 
Wachendorfla, curious and interesting plants 
Watsonia, remarkable looking plants which form 
in the flower garden a striking contrast to 
the Gladiolus, and for cutting equally useful. 
They can also be lifted and potted 
Winter Aconites, the earliest of spring flowers and 
thejnost desirable for moist and shady situa- 
tions 
Window Gardens. See Illustrations. 
Zephyranthes, pretty dwarf autumn flowering 
plants, charming for groups in the flower bor- 
der or cultivated several in a pot ; Candida, 
with its silvery crocus-like flowers ; Rosea and 
Sulphurea, larger, and charmingly beautiful
