CLIBRANS’ LIST OF SHRUBBY VERONICAS. 
Tritoma (KniphopMa;. 
The 7 'orch Lilies or Red-hot Poker, are magnificent plants for borders, &c. The';,hybrids are 
most conspicuous. They all prefer light, sandy soil, to which may be applied a liberal top dressing 
of well-rotted manure, and plenty of water in Spring and Summer. A covering of bracken, &c., 
early in Winter is necessary, excepting in warm, dry positions.

New Zealand Veronicas. 
These shi'ubby Speed-wells, though not absolutely hardy in this country, can withstand several 
degrees of frost, and as there are many positions in gardens which are somewhat sheltered, these 
are the plants to occupy them, and give ample return in an abundance of flowers into late Autumn, 
and a constant neat appearance. Of the species, those marked with an asterisk (♦) are evergreen 
and admirably adapted for the rock garden. No. 2301 and 2347 especially have the appearance 
of small conifers. In the South of England, in Wales, and near the coast generally (to the South of 
Scotland), these shrubs need practically no protection. Traversii is the hardiest of all the species, 
and may be planted with confidence, even in a fairly exposed position. 
Those not priced, 4d. each ; 3/- per doz. Twelve, in 12 varieties, our selection, 2/6. 15/- 
per too. Larger plants of some kinds at 2/- and 3/- doz. extra.
