autumn. The best culture is in the open ground ; we most, however, say that the germination is 
very slow and diflScult, the seeds must absolutely not be covered with earth. Plants, 2s. ; seed,

SAPONARIA OCYMOIDES ALBA — The flowers are not absolutely pure white, but 
have in the older days a tinge of pink that provides a pretty effect with the whiter appearance of the 
opening flowers. The chief value of such a plant is the great length of time it flowers. 9</. 
SCABIOSA CAUCASICA PEBFECTA — This represents the greatest perfection in this 
class. The colour of the flowers ranges from the most beautiful water-blue to the deepest azure- 
blue, and while the old Scabiosa caucasica is single flowering, this novelty has three or four rows of 
petals. This will recommend itself through its beauty. Per pkt.. Is. ; plants. Is. Gd. and 2s. Gd,
