and the effect in the flower garden ex- 
ceedingly fine. To place in table- jardinets 
as a cut flower they are very beautiful .... 19 
Rigi della immaculata, a very beautiful flame- 
coloured hardy plant 32 
Sanguinaria canadensis, with its pretty white 
Ranunculus-like flowers — 32 
Saxifraga granulata flore pleno, a nice little 
border plant, effective as an edging or in 
masses - 32 
Scliizostylis coccinea, matchless as a pot plant 
for flowering during autumn, and winter... 32 
Scilla. Mrs. Loudon was wont to term the 
Scilla sibirica as the loveliest of all spring 
flowers 21 
Snowdrop ; planted thickly as an edging, and 
left undisturbed for years, its effect is of 
the first importance. The bulbs are ex- 
ceedingly cheap; and those who would 
enjoy a spring bed of. pure white edged 
blue, cannot do better than plant these 
thickly, and broadly edge with Scilla 
sibirica — • . 13 
Sparaxis. Words fail to convey a just idea 
of the beauty of these; to do so would 
require the coloured delineations of an 
Andrews or a Fitch 13 
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 32 
Strumaria ; in pots these pretty little plants 
are greatly admired 32 
Thladiantha dubea, a rapid growing hardy 
climber 33 
Tigridia ; the gorgeous beauty of these tiger- 
spotted flowers is an unfailing source of 
admiration 33 
Trichonema, charming little plants with grace- 
ful rush-like foliage.. .► 33 
Triteleia uni flora. Should any of our readers 
desire plants in their spring gardens or 
conservatories which are sure to arrest at- 
tention and elicit admiration, plant freely 
this charming flower and Scilla sibirica ... 33 
Tritoma ; the most noble and effective of au- 
tumn flowering plants, familiarly called 
the “Red-hot Poker Flower” 33 
Tritonia ; few plants are more serviceable than 
these in supplying jardinets or as cut 
flowers. Crocata should be grown exten- 
sively. It is simply necessary to put a 
few in a pot and place them in a cold 
frame to start : if they are wanted early, 
place them in a gentle heat in March ; if 
they are wanted in summer, let them 
remain in the cold frame 18 
Tropeeolum ; elegant plants for wire-globes and 
trellis work, especially under glass 33 
Tuberoses, double Italian ; the most fragrant of 
flowers, they can be had in bloom from 
August to Christmas, and are greatly 
prized in bouquets ; a single pot of three 
or four bulbs will be sufficient to perfume 
the conservatory, hall, or sitting-room ; 
plant in succession from January to May. 33 
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 on. . 12 
Tulips, early single Paxton 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 12 
Tulips, early single, for pot culture or select 
beds. In this collection there are Tulips 
of extraordinary beauty, as regards size, 
colour, and marking 13 
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, ..... 14

Tulips, double varieties; these form a succes- 
sion to the early single Tulips, and in 
planting should be arranged so as to form 
one of the links in the succession of flowers 
throughout the season. Tovmcsol flowers 
with the early single varieties, and is fre- 
quently associated very effectively in 
forming the divisional iines iu designs ; 
while for in-door culture, several in a pot, 
this variety is matchless. Extremitie d'Or, 
Imperator Rubrorum, and a few others, 
are also effective in pots 14 
Tulips; late flowering single. These bloom with 
the double varieties, and are veiy effective 
in beds or groups in the flower-border 14 
Tulips, Parrot; exceedingly interesting and 
beautiful, the combination and striking 
contrast of colours in the same flower are 
extremely curious ; and those who study 
form, colour, and variety in the arrange- 
ment of their flower-garden should not 
overlook this section. Planted in hanging- 
baskets so that the flowers droop over the 
sides, the effect is quite orchidaceous 14 
Tulips, Gesneriana. Of all known varieties the 
Gesneriana is the most showy, and for dis- 
tant effect the most valuable of the Tulips 14 
Tulips, various. Here we have species as re- 
markable as they are beautiful. Clu- 
siana , a perfect gem ; Cornuta , the petals 
curiously twisted resembling horns ; Ocidus 
Solis, with its great crimson-black centre ; 
Viridijhra, green margined yellow ; and 
Sylvestris, the sweet-scented Tulip. Ama- 
teurs who occasionally leave the beaten 
path to gaze upon beauties rarely met 
with in the flower-garden, but which call 
forth the enthusiastic admiration of tile 
botanical student, should purchase three 
each of this collection 13 
Valotta purpurea, one of the loveliest of au- 
tumn flowering bulbs, and one of the most 
effective plants in the conservatory. Its 
culture is so simple that no establislunent 
should be without a large supply either 
for decoration or to cut for table bouquets 33 
Wachendorfia should be in every collection ... 83 
Watsonia, remarkable looking plants which 
form in the flower-garden a striking con- 
trast to the Gladioli, and for cutting are 
equally useful. They can also be lifted 
and potted for conservatory decoration as 
we have recommended in the treatment 
of the Gladioli 33 
Zcphyranthes, pretty dwarf flowers for groups 
in the flower border or several in a pot. 
Atomasco and Candida resemble silvery- 
white Crocus ; Rosea and Sulphurea pro- 
duce larger flowers : but they are all 
charmingly beautiful 33
