In the formation of floral screens 
to shut out unsightly objects , or 
to form hedgerows in exposed 
situations for protecting more 
tender plants, Sweet Reas are 
invaluable. In shrubbery and 
mixed flower borders pyramids 
of these supported by twiggy 
faggots are very effective. 
Grown in pots they can be had 
very early in bloom to cut for 
bouquets. Sow in November 
and "ecemce : , and again in 
spring.

PELARG-O'NIJM (Geranium), Nat. Ord. Gerania'cece. Greenhouse plants. 
For the decoration of the greenhouse, no plant is more popular than this, and when well grown its effect is 
matchless. At our summer flower shows it is a conspicuous object ; the large bold flowers of the English, the 
beautiful spotting of the French, and the elegant and delicate colours of the Fancy, make them deservedly popular 
plants. The seeds we offer have been 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 flo’wered the first season.

PENTSTE'MON, Nat. Ord. Scrophularia'cecv. Splendid hardy perennials. 
For brilliant effect and continuous blooming in the flower garden, it is hardly possible to over-estimate the 
English hybrid Pentstemons. The flowers are large, the markings beautiful, and the colours rich and varied, 
while the habit of the plant is good and its culture simple. Of late years bedding plants have somewhat pushed 
the Pentstemon into the background, but the splendid hybrids exhibited at the meetings of the Royal Horticultural 
Society, and the fine collection grown at Chiswick have tended considerably to reinstate the Pentstemon as a popular 
garden favourite. To cut for vases and table bouquets few plants are more suitable.
