In the formation of floral screens 
to shut out unsightly objects, or 
to form hedgerows in exposed 
situations for protecting more 
tender platits. Sweet Peas are 
invaluable. In shrubbery arid 
mixed flower borders pyramids 
of these supported by twiggy 
faggots are very eflective. 
Grown in pots they can be had 
very early in bloom io cut for 
bouquets. Soiu in November 
and December and again in 
spring.

PELAEGOIJIUM (Geranium), Nat. Ord. Gerania'cece, Greenhouse plants. 
For the decoration of the gi’ecnhouse, no plant is more popular than thiSy and when well grown its effect is 
matchless. The large bold flowers of the English, the beautiful spotted flowers of the French, and the elegant 
delicate colours of the Fancy varieties, make them deservedly popular plants. The seed3 we offer have bem saved 
from first-class show varieties, and will yield flowers of the most advanced types. The raising of seedlings is 
very simple, and the plants can be flowered the first season.

PENTSTE'MOIT, Nat. Ord. Scrophularia'cece. Splendid hardy perennials. 
For brilliant effect and continuous blooming in the flenoer garden, it is hardly possible to over-estimate the 
new hybrid Pentstemons. The flowers are large, the markings beautiful, and the colours rich and vat tea, 
while the habit of the plant is good and its culture simple. Of late years bedding plants have soniewhat pushed 
the Pentstemon into the background, but the splendid hybrids exhibited at the meetings of the Royal riorticu ura 
Society, and theflne collection grown at Chisiuick, have tended considerably to reinstate the Pentstemon a popular 
garden favourite. To cut for vases and table bouquets, few plants are snore suitable.
