THE GARDENING WORLD 
June 3, 1899, 
places below trees they are very adaptable. Allium 
triquetrum and Anemone Rose de Nice were also 
noted. Iris germanica albicans var. Prince of Wales 
and I g. Kharput, this latter extremely large and 
handsome, together with the bearded Iris Sieberi 
and others made a very rich show. They also put 
up one of the leading groups of hardy and alpioe 
plants in pots. Everything was of interest to those 
who love this class of flowering plants. Euphorbia 
pilosa major attracted quite a lot of admiration; 
notable also were Poleinonium reptans, with its 
graceful bearing and bright blue flowers; Orchis 
italica and O. maculata were each a centre of 
interest; Ranunculus Gouani fl. pi., Geum miniatum, 
Phlox setacea var. G. F. Wilson, P. amoena, P. 
Vivid, this latter an extremely sweet pink variety ; 
Primula Sieboldii, Phlox procumbens, and Primula 
japonica splendens, a fine mauve-coloured form, 
were all choice. 
One of the most interesting novelties in the show is 
a group of hybrid Nemesias, resulting from a cross 
with Nemesia strumosa Suttonii. The latter was 
introduced into England in 1888, and awarded a 
First-class Certificate by the R.H.S. in 1892. The 
colours range from pure white to crimson, including 
blue, a colour not before seen in Nemesia strumosa. 
The plants are of robust habit, very floriferous, and 
are grown easily from seed. They can be flowered 
at any time of the year, in the open ground during 
the summer, and under glass in the winter. The 
plants exhibited were grown from seed in January. 
Nemesia strumosa Suttoni, the original type, is re¬ 
presented by groups of the crimson and orange 
varieties. The flowers are much larger than when 
the strain was first offered to the public, and can 
now be obtained in four distinct colours. Annuals 
are never very largely represented at the Temple 
Show, and the Reading firm is to be congratulated 
upon their enterprise, and in extending the interest 
of the show. 
Messrs.Thomas S. Ware, Ltd..renowned as a first- 
rate firm for hardy herbaceous or alpine plants, &c., 
have brought together a select combination of those 
dwarf, hardy plants which bloom in our early spring 
or summer days and make outdoor gardening so 
interesting. The more prominent plants of the 
groups we had some difficulty in selecting, there 
being so many others of great merit. These were 
noted as follows:—Primula japonica, P. lilacina, 
Dodecatheon splendidum, Iberis Little Gem, Cypri- 
pedium calceolus, Aubrietia Campbelli, A. deltoidea 
graeca, A. Leichtlini. Myosotis lithospermifolia, 
Anemone sylvestris flore pleno, A. palmata alba, 
Geum coccineum plenum, G. miniatum, Eremurus 
himalaicus, E. Elwesianus, Ononis rotundifolia, 
Genista andreana, Anthemis AizooD, Tree Paeonies 
(in variety), Iris germanica (in variety), Saxifragas 
(in variety), Azaleas, both of the mollis and Ghent 
species. 
Messrs. R. Wallace & Co., Kilnfield Gardens, 
Colchester, put up a fine group of Lilies at the end 
of No. 3 Tent. The background was Lilium 
Harrisii, and in front L umbellatum erectum, L. 
Thunbergianum, L. T. van Houttei, L. T. alutaceum 
grandiflorum, L. T. marmoratum aureum, L. umbel¬ 
latum aureum, L. excelsum, L. x Marhan, L. Dal- 
hansoni, L. Hansoni, L. candidum and others 
arranged with Japanese Maples. 
Messrs. A. W. Young & Co..Stevenage,Herts., had 
a group of cut herbaceous arranged in bottles and 
forming an effective group, of which Spiraeas, 
Daffodils, Parrot Tulips, Saxifragas, Liliums, 
Aubretias, &c., were the chief features. 
Geo. Jackman & Son, Woking Nursery, show 
some good bunches of Iris, Oriental Poppy, hybrid 
Aquilegias, Paeonias, tree and herbaceous Cent- 
aureas. Anemone sylvestris fl. pi. (Award of Merit) 
is shown in good form. Iceland Poppy, Cytisus 
scoparius andreanus, Pyrethrums, and Tritoma 
Tuckii are amongst the most showy. Messrs. 
Wallace also show a table of Iris, Gladiolus 
delicatissima.Ixias, Sparaxis. Calochortus, Brodiaeas 
tree Paeonies, and hardy Cypripedium. 
Messrs. Cheal & Sons, Crawley, showed a number 
of varieties of Violas both in tubs and clumps. 
Messrs. Kelway & Sons, Langport, make a good 
show with herbaceous and tree Paeonies, with a 
few Amaryllis, Pyrethrum, Aquilegias, and 
Eremunis himalaicus make a gorgeous bahk. Tree 
Paeony, Miss Beatrice Jones, white, with slightly 
coloured centre. (Award of Merit.) P. Cecil

Delphinium nudicaule, Narcissus, Primula, Oriental 
Poppies, Phlox vivid. Arenariagrandiflora, Trollius, 
Geum Heldreichii, Thermopsis montana, Lupius are 
among those shown. 
James Backhouse & Son, York, show an arrange¬ 
ment of herbaceous and alpine plants, planted out in 
rockwork, which gives one a good idea of what a 
rock garden ought to be. Here we have a back¬ 
ground of Bamboos, in front of which are Japanese 
Maples, a few hardy Ferns, and on the raised rock- 
work are clumps of Saxifragas, Sedums, &c.; on the 
lower parts,the Gentians (verna,bavarica.acualis) are 
in perfection, which makes one envious of the climate 
in which they are grown. The small forms of our 
native Ferns arehere well represented,and it is a nook 
like this that is wanted in which to grow those small¬ 
growing but interesting class. Small Pines, double 
Furze, &c , forms a charming feature in the arrange¬ 
ment. Saponaria ccymoides var. alba is shown in a 
pan. 
Mr. Maurice Prichard, Christchurch, Hants,put up 
a very interesting collection, Thalictrum aquilegifo- 
lium, Ranunculus aconitifolius, Pyrethrums, Gypso- 
phila cerastoides, Cytisus purpureus incarnatus looks 
pretty. Gentiana verna, hybrid aquilegias, Trollius, 
orange-globe Geums and Iris, Phlox C.anadense, 
Dranthus alpine, early Dutch Honeysuckle, Genista, 
Praecox, Veronicas, &c., make an interesting group. 
Mr. R. H. Bath,Wisbech,showssome large Pansies, 
Carnations, Gladiolus, Iris, Cactus Dahlias, &c., the 
whole very effectively arranged with a margin of 
Maidenhair Ferns. 
HARDY TREES AND SHRUBS. 
Messrs. J. Cheal & Sons, Crawley, Sussex, pro¬ 
vided a veritable shrubbery out in the open lawns, 
having a large variety of hardy ornamental flower¬ 
ing and foliage, trained and untrained shrubs and 
trees. The foliage shrubs were massed in a star¬ 
shaped bed, and included Abies pungens glauca, 
Cupressus lawsoniana p>ramidalis alba spica, C. 1 . 
argentea variegata, Retinospora obtusa nana aurea, 
R. tetragona aurea, variegated Elders, Biotas, 
Maples, &c. There was also a group of Yew and 
Box trees clipped into shapes. A whole large bed 
was devoted to Azaleas and hardy Rhododendrons, 
Genistas, Kalmias, Lilacs, purple Beech, Sambucas 
aurea lacinata, and such like. Azalea rustica fl. pi., 
II Tasso, a salmon-pink variety, Rhododendron John 
Walker, and other varieties of equal merit were 
among the many. 
Mr. John Russell, Richmond Nurseries, Rich¬ 
mond, Surrey, arranged splendidly his large group of 
hardy shrubs, chief of which were the Maples and 
Ivies. Of the latter, Hedera arborea. Silver Queen 
was the sweetest type. Acer Negundo variegata, A. 
palmatum rubrum.A.p.dissectum autropurpureum.A. 
p. crispum, and some of the taller species were all 
included. He also showed a fine lot of Guelder 
Roses, very freely flowered. 
Messrs. J. Veitch & Sons, Ltd., Chelsea, set up a 
fine lot of their hardy Bamboos, B. palmata, Arund- 
inaria nitida, A. Fortunei variegata, A. macrosperma, 
A. anceps, A. auricoma and Bambusa metake, were 
a selection to which we can recommend anyone.
