NEW AND BEAUTIFUL GAILLARDIAS. 
The Gaillardia is almost unique in varied brilliancy of colouring, the blending of the rich shades of brown, maroon, and gold being particularly striking. In the twelve 
varieties now offered by us for the first time, some charming colours prevail ; and as this section maybe considered perennial and hardy, their value as bright summer border 
plants cannot be over-estimated. The flowers are of great substance, and are specially adapted for cutting for house decoration.

ANEMONE FLOWERS produced from SEED IN SIX MONTHS. 
ST. BRIGID” CROWN ANEMONE SEED. 
The Anemones from which these natural-sized Drawings were made were raised from Seed sown in the month of March, 
FLOWERING SIX MONTHS LATER. 
We have been again fortunate enough to secure the entire stock of these beautiful flowers. A new era in flower-growing will' be inaugurated by the system 
recommended by Mr. BURBIDGE, F.L.S. (sec below), and we feel satisfied that many thousands of our customers who are accustomed to plant Anemone 
Bulbs will also sow this Seed, certain as it is to produce some novel and charming forms hitherto unknown. 
KENT. — “ I ought to mention the St. Brigid Anemones are really grand. I sowed the seed in February, and they are now in full flower (July 18th). They are the 
admiration of every one that sees them.” — Mr. H. HOWELL, The Gardens, Fredville Park. 
Anemones in September.— “ We owe to Mr. Burbidge 
the pleasant surprise of receiving a box of large-flowered 
double Anemones such as one might expect to see in Spring. 
Mr. Burbidge tells us that unless the Winter prove very 
severe the plants may be expected to bloom continuously 
until next June. These flowers are from seed sown in March 
of this year, so that they are only about six months old. 
‘ St. Brigid,’ to whom horticulturists owe this strain, has 
thereby earned their gratitude.” 
GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE, September is. 
St. Brigid Anemones — Choice Spring Flowers. — 
“ 1 feel some hesitation in differing from your correspondent, 
‘ Q,’ P- 556, in his notes on Choice Spring Flowers. When 
alluding to Anemones he says: ‘Seeds can be sown in Spring 
in a shallow box, using sandy soil, and placed in a cold 
frame shaded from the sun . . . and subsequently trans- 
planted.’ I think, after many years' experience, much the 
best plan is that recommended by Mr. Burbidge, Trinity 
College Gardens, when stating the best method of treating 
seed of the St. Brigid’s strain of Anemones, raised on the 
Hill of Howth, drawn attention to by him, and now put 
into commerce by Messrs. James Carter & Co., High 
Holborn, London, for the first time this season. I may just 
state, I think, it will be generally admitted no Dutch strain 
of the Crown Anemones (A. coronaria), single, semi-double, 
or double, can approach in size and brilliancy those found in 
numbers of Irish gardens, and of those Irish strains— -main- 
tained by a rigid Drocess of seedling selection — St. Brigid 
is one of the best. w . j. MURPHY.
