The Intermediate or Spring-fiowering Stork 
is ertensioely cuttivfiled for Covent Garden 
Market, During *‘the London eeaeon,” it ie 
extensively used for furnishing jardinrts, eta., 
j and is also of great value in jilting the early 
summer flower-beds. The East Lothian Stock 
is more branching than the true Intermediate, 
and therefore not so well adapted for pot-culture, 
but it is more valuable .for the flower-garden. 
For autumn-flowering sow these stocks early ui 
for spring-flowering 80w early in fitly.

TEITO^MA, Nat, Ord. Inlia'cece. Majestic and beautiful hardy perennial. 
Trlto'ma glauces'cens. The long spikes of flame-scarlet ^owqxs oi the Tritoma suggested 
the popular appellation, “ 7 he Ped-hot Poker Plant." Glaucescens is in flower throughout the 
summer : continues the succession to Christmas. Throughout Nov., 1878 . when few 
other plants were flowering in our iLxperimental Grounds, the handsome scarlet spikes of Grandis 
were conspicuous, with successional spikes in abundance, thus proving it to be a winter-blooming 
plant. In shrubberies and for naturalization, the majestic effect of these plants is un.surpassed. It 
is preferable to purchase plants rather than seeds of the Tritomas ; the plants of Olaucescens and 
Grandis are inexpensive, each gd. & is. ; per doz., js. 6d. & 10 s. 6d. ; stools, each is. 6d. and

Verbenas in quantity are more easily obtained from seed than from cuttings ; sown in sprinq they flower 
quite early in the season. The self-colours are generally to be depended upon, and there is moreover a chance 
of raising novelties. For new varieties, see Novelties, page 5 .
