NEW HARDY FTRBTHRUSIS. 
Plants always ready to send out, and may at any time he 
planted out. 
In May and June the new Pyrethrums occupy the same 
position as that held by the Chrysanthemum in September and 
October, therefore the name ** Spring-flowering Chrysanthe- 
mum ” has not inappropriately been given to them. The 
fltnoers are large^ elegantiy formed, and vary in colour from 
snow-white to the ricnest crimson. The habit of the plant is 
graceful, the foliage elegant, and the flowers are produced in 
great profusion. The hardiness of this plant is beyond all 
doubt, having stood uninjured without the slightest protection 
during the recent series of unusually severe winters. In her- 
baceous borders, in front of shrubs, and iti situations where 
variety of colour is important, Pyrethrums are matchless. As 
a cut flaiuer for vases and table decoration the blossoms are of 
the greatest value, and last in water Ioniser than any other 
flower. At Blower Shows in May and June the Pyrethrurn 
is one of the most attractive amongst cut flowers. 
In addition to the early summer display, the Pyrethrurn if 
cut back and encouraged to make vigorous growth in Summer, 
will again flmver ptofusely in Autumn. 
Our Annual Exhibitions of these flowers at the Royal 
Horticultural Gardens, South Kensington, and at King 
Street, always attract much attention.

FRENCH VARIETIES OF GLADIOLUS GANDAVENSIS. 
Time of Planting. — P'rom the middle of April to the beginning of ]une we consider (he best lime to plant; 
when one planting only is madfe, we should recommend it being done early in May, but if succcssional plantings 
are made, commence middle of April, and continue fortnightly till the middle of June. 
Planting to Advantage. — Groups of three to a dozen roots, planted jn the flower borders in distinct, or 
diversified colours, produce an exceedingly fine effect. The roots should be six inches from each other, and 
when the plants are sufficiently advanced place a stake in the centre of the group, and fasten the plant to it.
