WALLFLOWERS. 
(See Photograph opposite . ) 
The Wallflower is a very old friend in English gardens, but is not grown to the extent it deserves. Now 
that so many improved forms and bright colours are available, it should be found a place where any collections 
of spring-flowering plants are brought together. For quite two months, April and May, it adds its best charms, 
and makes beds and borders quite cheery by its presence and fragrance. The spindly straggling plants too 
commonly met with are only a mere apology lor the effects well-cultivated examples, such as plants lrom 
the following highly selected strains, are capable of achieving. The double varieties, although very pretty when 
well grown, do not always come up to the high standard anticipated, and only occasionally give that real 
solid satisfaction that can be relied upon with the singles. For real usefulness we recommend the following 
selections of uniform height and habit, broad pctalled, and decisive colours. They flower early, last well, and 
are off the ground in convenient time for summer bedding. The seeds may be sown from April to August in 
a partially shaded but airy place. If sown on poor firm soil plants of stubby growth and hardy nature will be 
produced whilst those sown later in rich ground are often killed in winter. All may be transplanted to 
blooming quarters from August to November, according to circumstances.
