Chrysocoma (Goldylocks).—The pretty O. lynosyris should 
have a place in the front of the border, as one of the most

Colchicum (Meadow Saffron).—Plant in the front line 
C. autumnale and its double varieties, C . agrippina and C.

most accommodating plant, and, generally speaking, needs 
bat to be planted in a shady spot and left alone, and it will

walks, and brink pavements. In cases where it refuses to 
grow in this free natural manner, a small bed should be pre¬ 
pared in a shady spot, consisting of turfy loam from a fat 
pasture, and in this bed the roots should be planted in the 
autumn. There are some pretty varieties, the most beautiful of 
them all is the striped-leaved, which, on account of its delicate 
colouring in early spring, is usually grown in pots for deco¬ 
rating the conservatory. To obtain fine specimens, pot them 
into nine-inch pots filled with a mixture of equal parts turfy 
loam, rotten hotbed manure, leaf-mould, and silver sand, and 
do not disturb them until they have quite filled the pots. 
Corydalis (Larkspur Fumitory).—One of this tribe, C. 
iutea , is one of our best garden friends, for it will soon form
