Hard}' perennials. 
Wallflowers are prized for their delicious 
fragrance. In the spring they are indis- 
pensable for beds, groups, and ribbons : 
the large massive conspicuous spikes of the 
double German varieties have a charming 
effect ; while the more bushy, compact 
growth znd profuse blooming of the single 
Wallflowers render them exceedingly 
attractive. A mass of Golden Queen, with 
its unalloyed rich golden yellow blossoms, 
is a sight unrivalled ; it may be seen from 
a great distance, and so profusely does it 
bloom as to resemble a dense carpet of 
gold.
