THE AMATEUR’S FLOWER GARDEN. 
Second Row (averaging 12 to 15 inches). — Brachycome 
iberidifolia, a neat bedding plant, blue. Galliopsis Englemanni, 
golden. Calandrinia Burridgi , rose : this represents a splendid 
family. Campanula Lorei , blue; extremely pretty. Chrysan¬ 
themum carinatum , yellow and brown; C. flavum, gold; C. 
venustum, purple and yellow : a fine group. Clarkia pulchella, 
rose, and 0. integripetcda , rosy crimson, represent a fine family, 
which should be grown in plenty. Collinsia bicolor, purple and 
white ; 0. multicolor, crimson and white; lovely plants of free 
growth and abundant bloom. Delphinium ajacis , Larkspur, 
white, pink, blue, and purple; the blew Dwarf Rocket and 
Candelabra Larkspurs are the best for the second row. Del¬ 
phinium cardiopetalon , blue. Dianthus chinensis in great va¬ 
riety, all of them splendid plants for masses, making a good 
show when sown on the open border. Eschscholtzia Calfornica, 
yellow, and E. crocea , orange, showy and neat, apt to become 
weeds like mignonette and cornflower. Eucharidium gran- 
diflorum , red. Eutoca viscida , blue. Gilia achillaefolia alba, 
white ; G . capitata, blue. Godetia Bindley ana, purple. Giypso - 
phila elegans, white, fine for bouquets. Helichrysum elegans, 
fine yellow everlasting. Iberis umbella , the Candytuft, in 
variety; the white, crimson, and purple are splendid things 
when well grown, but they are usually ruined for want of 
thinning. Ipomcea tricolor , dwarf convolvulus, white, blue, 
lavender, etc.; these make fine tufts, and answer well to cover 
the ground among standard roses—the flowers always look to 
the south. Bimnanthes Douglasi, white and yellow. Linum 
grandiflorum , crimson Flax, a splendid plant. Lupinus affinis , 
blue and white; L. luteus , yellow and sweet-scented; L. sub- 
carnosus, blue. Mathiola bicornis, the Night-scented stock, has 
no beauty, but is highly prized for its delicious perfume in 
the later hours of the day. Mignonette , the large-flowering 
and the red-flowering, belong to the second row, being more 
bushy and taller than the common mignonette. Nemophila 
maculata , white and purple. OEnothera tetraptera , white. Fa- 
paver Bhceas nanus, dwarf double poppy, very showy for second 
row. Silene orientalis , rose. Specularia speculum, Venus’s 
Looking-glass, lilac and white. Statice spicata , rosy pink.
