any arbour, wall, or trellis-work. The foliage is large, 
dense, and deliciously green, palmate and deeply 
lobed. 
Culture. —Sow in spring in light soil in pots, 
place them on a gentle heat, and prick off, leaving the 
young plants in the same temperature till May, when

servatory, or warm situations out of doors. Where 
convenient, to place the young seedlings near the light 
in a greenhouse during winter, a sowing may be made 
from June to August.

The Sea Holly (Eryngium Maritimum). 
Photographed Jront Nature and Copyrighted by J. C. & Co. 
A very pretty silvery-white perennial plant with prickly foliage, much resembling our Garden Hollies, it bears a 
pale blue flower, and is found growing on the coast of Belgium and various parts of our own English shores. It 
may be grown from seed which should be sown in seed pans in Winter and planted out in the Spring in a soil 
composed of a mixture (if possible) Of sea sand, lime rubbish, and any light soil. It requires considerable moisture, 
but. at the same time, absolute drainage is necessary. One of the most valuable plants for cut-flower decoration, 
lasting a long while. Height in cultivation, I to feet. 
Price, in sealed packets, Is. 6d. each.
