used for bedding purposes. Viola cornuta was one 
of the parents of the original strain of \ lolas, but its 
varieties as well as those of Viola tricolor (The 
Pansy) have been so hybridised or intercrossed that 
you cannot draw the line between one strain and the 
other Many varieties that are purely Pansies are 
now used for bedding purposes and termed Violas. 
Everlasting Peas.— Delta : These Peas take a 
long time to germinate and get established. We 
should therefore advise you to sow them in pots and 
keep them in a cold frame or a cool greenhouse 
according to your convenience and plant them out in 
spring when the weather becomes favourable. The 
other alternative would be to sow the seeds in their 
permanent position sometime early in March. \\ e 
doubt whether they will flower at all next year 
unless they make a good growth this autumn in the 
case of those sown in pots. They should flower 
splendidly, however, the year following if you put 
them in good soil. They grow slowly in their 
seedling stages, but rapid after getting established. 
Crimson Carnation. — Wtslev Kaye : It is almost 
impossible to name florist’s flowers that are so 
numerous as Carnations, without actually comparing 
them with those of a good and correctly named col¬ 
lection. It is closely similar to the Old Clove from 
which it differs by its lack of smell and greater 
stature. It is also very similar to a new sort named 
Crimson King raised by Mr. J. Douglas.
