would be impossible to speak too highly of 
the Pseony. Its colours range from the 
purest white to the deepest crimson ; its

fragrant, and ranging from single to the most 
perfect doubles. It is of stately growth, and

valuable plants for the shrubbery border.

fSCHIZOSTYLIS. For conservatory decoration, 
filling jardinets, and as a cut flower during 
the autumn and winter months the value of 
this plant cannot be over estimated. It pro- 
duces profusely rich crimson-scarlet Gladio- 
lus-like blossoms. In sheltered situations 
out of doors it is hardy.

§SISYRINCHIUM. The rich purple and pure 
white bells of Grandiflorum rising from their 
grassy tufts of foliage are unique, and flower 
so early as to be more properly regarded as 
winter flowers. Odoratissimum has long 
graceful white purple- mottled fragrant 
flowers, which open in Summer. Striatum 
emits a delightful hawthorn fragrance, morn- 
ing and evening, and is a useful plant for 
shrubbery borders, woodland walks, &c.

long narrow grassy evergreen leaves, those 
of Pulcherrima gracefully drooping towards 
their points ; from their midst rise flower 
stems 4 to 5 feet in height, so slender as 
scarcely to be perceptible a few yards off, 
while the large pendant bell-shaped flowers 
are seen waving in the breeze looking quite 
ethereal.
