MISCELLANEOUS. 
Of other white flowers the Candytufts or Iberises are still very good. 
These are all dwarf-growing and of sbiubby habit, bearing innumerable 
pure white flowers on short sturdy stems, and arianged in compact 
globular umbels. These are all very pleasing, either for the rockery, the 
border, or for edgings, the best being I. corifulia, I. sempervirens, I. 
gibraltarica, and I. Pruiti. 
The HSthionemas, a genus closely allied, but for the most part having 
flowers of a light pink, are best suited for warm sunny positions of rock.

But one of the most lovely sights in the hardy plant garden now is Geum 
miniatum. In colour it is a light orange red, so pleasing, and yet so 
widely distinct from all else. It flowers in the greatest profusion ; in 
fact, equally as freely in this respect as tho well-known double scarlet 
Geum, G. coccineum, fl.-pl. There is the yellow flowered species, which 
comes early in bloom, of dwarfer habit and larger golden blossomp, but 
this is on the wane. This la«t remark applies to the Dodecatheons, which 
ars lovely plants for peat and loam in moist partially shaded placep. 
Diolytra spectabilis, which was terribly cut by the late spring frosts, is 
now fl iwering profusely. Two orange-coloured flowers are just beginning 
to expand ; the one is Erigeron aurantiacum, the other Hieracium auran- 
'iacum. The first is one of the most charming of dwarf-habited early 
summer flowering plants, remarkably free at.d robust, hut only 9 inches 
high. Its flower stems issue from compact tults of glossy green leaves, 
the individual flower heads being nearly as large as a crown piece. It is 
quite hardy, is propagat d freely by division and seeds, and is in all 
respects a first-class plant. It is suited either for put culture, the rockery, 
or the border, and should always be iucluded in an exhibition group at 
this season of the year. The Hieracium also has a telling colour, height 
2 fee’, with a spreading rootstock, and while if is not a weedy plant, 
it ernnot be regarded in the light, ot the first-named, either as so desirable 
nr showy. Tho Alpine Phloxes, P. sttacea and it > forms, with P. frondoea, 
P. amoena, P. Nelsoni, and others, always so lovely in the spring time, are 
now past their best, the sheets of varii m coloured flowers which are pro¬ 
duced upon them having no equal among spring plants.
