exceedingly valuable for rockwork 
and select Alpine gardens. Japonica 
produces massive whorls of flowers, 
and is extremely decorative either as 
a pot plant or in the flower garden. 
Cdskmeriana and Rosea are new 
Indian species of great beauty.

The It floral gems should be universally tultlvattd. Few 
of the plants brought to Covent Garden Market (harm 
the visitor so much as the pots of these rose-tinted 
silvery flowers. In private establishments they should 
be grown in pans of about a dotcen plants for the decora- 
tion of the conservatory during autumn and spring. 
In the flower garden they are very charming, and the 
flowers greatly prixed for bouguets. 
Magnificent shrubs.

VC value of ihe New Double Pyrethrums U would hardly be possible to over-estimate: their large 
kefiowers are charming in May agidfunc, and again in autumn. It is more satisfactory to purchase 
plantsof these Double Pyrethrums than seeds. Wc have a very fine collection ofplajits, and confidently recoin- 
mend them. They are kept in pots, ready to plant out at all seasons. See Page 74.

Picturesque, umbrageous, elegant foliage plants, which in autumn are studded with grotesque fruit. As 
specimens on the lawn or terrace they are unsurpassed, and for the Sub-tropical garden indispensable. In shrub- 
bery borders, and by the sidea of ravines, rivulets, and lakes, they impart a majesty possessed by few, if any other 
plant. Front seed they speedily attain gigantic proportions, and are ornamental till destroyed by frost.
