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

PEL A,RG0TTKJM (Geraniura), Nat. Ord, Oerania'cGfe, Greenhouse plants. 
For the decoration of the greenhouse, no plant is more popular than this, and when well grown its effect is 
matchless. The large bold gowers of the F.?iglish, the beautiful spotted flower of (he French, and the elegant and 
delicate colours of the bancy varieties, make them deservedly popular plafits. 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 flowered the first season.

PENTSTE^MON, Nat. Ord. Scrophularia!cem. 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 ineetings of the Royal Horticultural 
Society, and the fine collection grown at Chiswick have tended considerably to reinstate the Pentstemon as a populcrr 
garden favourite. To cut for vases and table bouquets few plants are more suitable.

PERIL^LA, Nat. Ord. laohio! icB. Valuable ornamental foliaged half-hardy annuals. 
These are useful plants for back lines and ribbons, or as single specimens in mixed borders; the new variety, 
atro-purpurea foliis laciniatis is a really fine acquisition and is a good pot plant.

PETUNIA, Nat. Ord. Bolana cece. Splendid half-hardy perennials. 
Most valuable plants, succeeding almost anyivhere. When ^rown in large beds hooped over, and the plants trained 
to the hoops, the effect produced is splendid. Trained on trellises, or against rustic fences, the eflcci is grand. 
Planted on old walls, in old stumps of trees, vases, rustic baskets, or fissures in rockformauijns, and allowed to 
droop over, they are matchless. On rock-work and amongst old roofs and ruins the eflcct is beautiful. Asa pot plant 
and for hanging baskets they are valuable, continuing in beauty till voy late in the autumn. Sown in March 
and April they commence flowering in June and July
