Paeonia, grand plants for shrubberies, isolated 
specimens, and mixed flower borders 33 
Pancratium, very attractive, popularly called the 
" Peruvian Daffodil” 33 
Pardanthus cMnensis, a very cft'ective plant, com- 
monly known as the ' ‘ I >eopard-spotted Flower* ' 33 
Pentland’ia miniata, a floral gem 33 
Phlox, herbaceous varieties. The grand heads 
of bloom which arc produced by these mag- 
nificent plants are unsurpassed. Their effect 
in large beds on the lawn, and on shrubbery 
borders, cannot be over-estimated 36 
Pyrethrum, double varieties. These, with their 
handsome profusion of large Astcr-likc flower 
and elegant foliage, take rank as first-class 
early summer bedding plants, and plants for 
the flower border, and to cut for bouquets ... 36 
Ranunculus, Persian varieties. These are ele- 
gant in form and colour, and equally effective 
in filling parterres, or in furnishing cut dowel's 
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 inunaculata.' The beautiful flame- 
coloured flowers of this plant are very striking 33 
Sanguinaria canadensis, expanding its pretty 
white Ranunculus-like flowers in shady spots ... 33 
Saxifraga granulata liore pleno, an effective 
little plant as an edging or for small beds, etc. 33 
Schlzostylis coccinea, matchless as a pot plant 
for flowering during autumn and winter 33 
ScilJa. Mrs. Loudon was wont to term the Seilla 
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 24 
Snowdrop; planted thickly as an edging, and left 
undisturbed for years, its effect is of the first 
importance. The bulbs arc 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 Seilla sibirica. 
Like the Crocus, they should be planted 
largely in ornamental grounds, amongst the 
glass, and in woods and sCmi-wild situations 18 
Sparaxis. 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 ... 21 
Spiraea japonica. Wherever white flowers for 
bouquets are in demand, plants for table 
decoration, conservatory, or sitting-room, 
Spiraea japonica pre-eminently meets the 
want. Spiraea palmata, red, a recent intro- 
duction from Japan, is a real acquisition 33 
Strumaria. In pots these pretty little plants are 
greatly admired 33 
Tliladiantha dubia, a rapid growing hardy climber 34 
Tigridias. The gorgeous beauty of these tiger- 
spotted flowers is an unfailing source of 
admiration throughout the Summer & Autumn 34 
Trichonemas, charming little plants with graceful 
rusli-like foliage ' 34 
Trillium, the Wood Lily ; the white variety, when 
forced, is even fairer than the white Lily, a fine 
plant for shady or moist situations 34 
Triteleia uniflora. Should any of our readers 
desire plants in their spring gardens or con- 
servatories which are sure to arrest attention 
1 
and elicit admiration, plant freely this charm- 
ing sweet-scented flower and the beautiful 
Seilla sibirica 34 
Tritoma, the most noble and effective of autumn 
flowering plants for interspersing in shrubbery 
borders and semi-wild places 34' 
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, 
\lSary and Sugden, 1872.

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 
Tropeeolum. Azureum, Jaratti, and tricolorum, 
are charming plants for wire globes under 
glass ; Pcntaphyllum, Polvphyllum, and Spc- 
ciosum are grand out-door climbers 34 
Tuberoses, double Italian and American, the 
most delightfully fragrant of white flowers 
which can be had in bloom from June to 
Christmas. They are greatly prized in bou- 
quets, and for ladies' dresses and gentlemen’s 
button-holes ; a single pot of three or four 
bulbs will be sufficient to perfume the con- 
servatory, 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 14 
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 14 
Tulips, early single, for pot culture or select 
beds. In this collection there are Tulips of 
extraordinary beauty, as regards size, colour, 
and marking 15 
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 16 
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. Tournesol , 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. Extrtf- 
mit 6 d'Or, Imperator Rubrorum, and a few 
others, are also very effective in pots 16 
Tulips, late flowering single. These bloom 
with the double varieties, and are exceedingly 
effective in beds or groups in the flower 
border 16 
Tulips, Parrot ; exceedingly interesting and beau- 
tiful, the combination and striking contrast of 
colour in the same flower is remarkable; and 
those who study 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 16 
Tulips, Gesneriana. Of all known varieties of 
the Tulip this is the most showy, and for dis- 
tant effect the most valuable 16 
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 these... 17 
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 34 
Wachendorfia, curious and interesting plants 34 
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 34 
Winter Aconites, the earliest of spring flowers and 
most desirable for moist or shady situations ... iS 
Window Gardens 38 
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 ... 34 
Plants, Sundries, etc 34
