PENTSTEMONS. — A beautiful gathering of these has been sent to us by Messrs. 
Cannell ft-om their Nursery at Swanley. They are as fine as Pentstemons can possibly 
be, some of the flowers measuring fully 2 in. across and well formed. There is a great 
diversity of colour among them, ranging from white, faintly tinged with pink, through 
bright roses and scarlets to the deepest crimsons, while others again are of the richest 
pm'ples. The perfection to which the Pentstemon has been brought is well shown by 
this series of varieties, the majority of which have received distinctive names. 
From the Journal of Horticulture, Aiigtist \0th, 1882. 
Messrs. Cannell have sent us some very handsome blooms of Pentstemons extremely 
varied and bright in colour, of great size and good form. In several cases the blooms 
are quite bell-shaped, and even in outline suggestive of a small Gloxinia. They Indicate 
a strain of considerable merit obtained by careful selection. 
NIAS. 
a T is surprising tlu.s family is not more largely grown, considering how easy they are to cultivate, 
and, if well grown, what grand things they are, both for decoration and exhibition. Treat them 
similar to a Verbena ; choose nice young ]>Iant.s about March, or any time up to July; give them 
good shifts and rich soil, well stoke out, and you will be highly gratified, for some are certainly sur- 
prisingly large ; colours not ecpiidled by any other flower. 'The finest varieties ever offered. Seed
