THE GARDENING WORLD 
April 4, 1896. 
as I could give it for a wedding present to the young 
woman I'm going to marry next month.” 
" I accei ted his offer, Arthur, as I saw it was made 
from kindness of heart ; and that is how I came to 
live in the Borough. Walker succeeded in getting 
my painting materials from his mother, and was 
delighted with the picture I made for his ’young 
woman.’ 
There was silence for some time after Eiley had 
finished her tale; it was broken by Lord Bewdley 
asking suddenly, 
” Have you ever made an enemy of anyone, 
Eiley ? ” 
The brown eyes looked up in surprise. 
” An enemy ? No, never, how could I ? ” 
” How could you indeed, my darling," he said, 
looking at her affectionately. “ At the same time, 
from what you tell me, it looks very much as if you 
had, although you may not be aware of it.” The 
servant bringing in the coffee, brought their 
tete-a-tete to an end. 
Before Lord Bewdley left, it was arranged that his 
marriage with Eiley should not take place just at 
once, as Dr. Graham who had been called to join the 
council—said he thought it would be better for 
Eiley to remain with them until she was stronger. 
This was not at all in accordance with Lord 
Bewdley ’s wishes, but finding that both Wilfred and 
Mary were also against him, he had perforce to 
agree to this arrangement.

Questions add finsmeRS 
*,* Will our friends who send us newspapers be so good 
as to mark the paragraphs or articles they wish us to see 
We shall be greatly obliged by their so doing. 
Sedum, Sage and popular names. — Rubens : 
Even if Sedum Telephium were to come into bloom 
at mid-summer that would be very near July, and the 
stems might have been gathered before the flowers 
were in bloom. We do not think that the red Sage 
(Salvia coccinea) could have been the plant mentioned 
in connection with the customs you state, because 
the plant is a native of Central and South America, 
and consequently never seen outside of large gardens. 
Weigela rosea is sometimes called Chinese Honey¬ 
suckle. There is no English name for Kennedya 
rubicunda. You would scarcely find Turkey-red in 
Canna, but rather orange, scarlet, and crimson. 
Heuchera sanguinea might be described as Turkey- 
red. The last e of Heuchera is accented, but we 
should consider it short. Wine-red must indicate a 
darker red variety of Iberis than ever we have seen, and 
we should consider it incorrect to use the appellation. 
The Arabis we mentioned is not wild in this country; 
all our species have white flowers. 
Cattleya bogotensis alba. — W. M. : The 
typical C. bogotensis was described in the "Belgique 
Horticole,” xv. (1865) p. 102, but that has long ago 
been referred to C. labiata, and in all probability, 
the plant in question is a mere form of C. labiata 
Trianaei, if in any way distinguishable from it ; for 
none of the manuals to hand dealing with Orchids 
record it. If this is so, then C. bogotensis alba 
must be the same as C. TriaDaei alba, which is pure 
white with a pale yellow blotch in the throat. Some¬ 
times plants are sold under this name, having a 
blush tint in the sepals and petals. It would be 
more correct to refer such forms to C. Trianaei 
delicata, of which they might be regarded as pale 
forms. 
Biennials.— T. M. : We should consider such 
plants as Foxglove, Canterbury Bells, Chimney 
Bellflower, Celsia cretica, and similar things as 
biennials. If raised from seed one year and grown 
on properly they will flo a er the following year and 
then die after maturing a crop of seeds. On the 
other hand, Sweet Williams and Wallflowers are 
truly perennial when grown under conditions natural 
to them, for they continue to grow and flower for 
many years. The usual method of growing Wall¬ 
flower would lead one to infer that it is a biennial. 
There is now a variety that can be flowered in four 
months from seed, but we should not regard it as an 
annual. 
Melon culture.— 0 micron : The lecture was 
delivered by Mr. James Barkham, Longford House 
Gardens, Haven Street, Isle of Wight. 
Forced Asparagus. — Omicron : Forced Asparagus 
roots, if re-planted out of doors, would, in a great 
many cases, die and leave blanks in the ground. In 
the first place, the roots have been more or less 
injured by the process of lifting ; and, secondly, the 
crowns have been exhausted by the production of 
heads for the kitchen. The result is that you would 
have to wait for some years before getting any satis¬ 
factory return, so that on the whole the best thing 
you can do is to throw away the roots after the crop 
has been cut. Where forcing is regularly carried on 
every year, the gardener takes good care to have a 
suffic’ent supply coming on to take the place of what 
has been used. You will find this the best plan 
yourself, in more satisfactory returns for your 
labour. 
Encyclopaedia.— A . F. . We are glad to know that 
you are far more than satisfied with the Encyclo¬ 
paedia Yes, we shall keep to the terms so long as 
our readers continue daily orders as at present. 
Transplanting Paeonies. — A. G. W.: You may 
yet transplant them with safety, but you cannot 
expect a very grand nor durable display of bloom in 
June, from plants that have been so recently 
disturbed. Trench the bed 18 in. or 2 ft. deep, 
loosening up the bottom. Plant and make the soil 
firm ab ut the roots of the Paeonies, and then mulch 
the bed heavily with fairly well-decayed manure 
from the farmyard, or with old Melon bed material, 
whichever can most easily be got. This will help to 
carry them through the drought of summer much 
better than if the roots were left unprotected. 
Plants of this class give most satisfaction after they 
are well established and in full vigour of growth. 
Names of plants. — W. Y. : 1, Odontoglossum 
crispum guttatum; 2, Laelia pumila praestans (a 
very good form); 3. Dendrobium aemulum. A. S.H.: 
1, Angraecum sanderianum ; 2, Odontoglossum con- 
strictum sanderianum. W . T .: 1, Eupatorium 
ianthinum; 2, Selaginellakraussiana aurea; 3, Sedum 
acre elegans ; 4, Carex brunnea variegata. Hampton : 
Both pieces of the Juniper are Juniperus chinensis 
albo-variegata ; the other plant is Spiraea Thunbergii. 
Alex Logan : r, Odontoglossum triumphans, a good 
form of it; 2, Odontoglossum lindleyanum mirandum. 
— R. Greig : 1, Forsythia viridissima; 2, Choisya 
ternata ; 3, Eupatorium riparium. 
Black Fly on Peaches.— H. J ; The fly cannot 
be plentiful nor very widespread at present, and 
should be destroyed at once before it gets more 
numerous. There is no need to syringe while the 
trees are in blossom. In the early morning while 
the trees are yet damp with dew go over them and 
dust the effected parts with tobacco powder without 
dropping it into the flowers.
