Night Stock for Evening Fragrance 
where its evening fragrance will be enjoyed. 
The plant is of no importance in the daytime, 
but in the evening the drooping flowers rise up 
and open and give off their wonderful scent. 
Maurandya Barclayana. — A perennial, but 
convenient to grow as a half-hardy annual. A 
beautiful climbing plant of refined appearance, 
with neat foliage and small purple flowers of 
Foxglove shape. Sow in March in slight heat, 
pot singly, and put out in June. 
Meconopsis integrifolia ; biennial. — A 
very fine pale yellow Poppy of recent introduc- 
tion, about 2 feet high, good for a cool, half- 
shady place where the soil is moist but well 
drained. M. nepalense is a taller plant, also 
with yellow flowers. M. Wallichii, 4 feet high, 
is very striking from the blue colour, so rare in 
poppies, of the handsome drooping flowers. It 
should be remembered that all Meconofsis like 
shade and damp ground. They are mountain 
plants, alpines of Central Asia. The seed should 
be sown in March in pots in a cold frame. 
Mesembryanthemum crystallinum {Ice- 
plant) ; h.h.a. — A curious plant that always 
attracts attention and interest from the little 
glassy knobs with which the deep green, fleshy 
leaves are covered. It is of trailing habit, and 
requires a warm exposure. M. pomeridianum 
and M. tricolor are also good in the rock garden. 
Michauxia campanuloides ; hardy biennial.
