THE GARDENING WORLD 
May 26, 1900 
bybloemens are each again divided and classified 
according as they are self-coloured breeders, flamed 
or feathered. Each of these divisions again are 
classified and described according to their respective 
colours. Amongst the bizarres none were more 
handsome than Dr. Hardy, Sir Joseph Paxton, Col¬ 
bert, Samuel Barlow, and Lord Stanley. Then 
amongst the rose section were Aglaia, Mabel, Anas¬ 
tasia, Kate Connor, Lady Constance Grosvenor, 
Annie Macgrigor, and others. The bybloemens 
consist of various arrangements of purple or lilac on 
a white ground. Adonis, Miss Foster, Mrs. Jackson, 
Music and Talisman were amongst the cream. 
Hardy herbaceous plants proper, as generally under¬ 
stood, included Fritillaria Elwesi, Mertensia vir- 
ginica, Adonis pyrenaica, Shortia uniflora, Anemone 
palmata, Lithospermum purpureo-caeruleum, single 
Paeonies in variety, Arabis albida flore pleno, &c , 
the last named and the Shortia being amongst the 
novelties put up. 
Messrs. Kelway & Sons, Langporf Nurseries, 
Somerset, grouped a magnificent collection of hardy 
tree Paeonies, some in pots, others cut and arranged 
in vases. The massive and graceful Lord Roberts, of 
a pale blush colour ; Lady Sarah Wilson, large and 
deep pink; Lord Methuen, deep purple; Mr. Eyre 
Walker, single magenta; Lady White, pure white 
and large; Duke of York, a semi-double rosy-oraDge- 
red, are only a little selection of the many splendid 
varieties set up. 
Messrs. Thos. S. Ware, Ltd., Hale Farm Nur¬ 
series, Feltham, London, staged a brilliant assort¬ 
ment cf hardy herbaceous and alpine plants. The 
beautiful and capricious Iris susiana was seen to 
perfection on this stand, and Primula Sieboldii, 
Aquilegia caerulea hybrids, Heuchera sanguines, 
Geum coccineum fl. pi., Pentstemon Sivulari, Aster 
alpinus superbus, Trollius europaeus, Centaurea 
montana alba, Phloxes, Lychnises, Saxifragas and a 
host of other gems were all included here. Tul ps 
were also shown. 
Messrs. R. Wallace & Co., Kilnfield Gardens, 
Colchester, exhibited a collection of hardy plants, 
bulbous and otherwise, including Liliums, Irises, 
Orchids and Cypripediums, &c., which if not so glar¬ 
ing and excessively brilliant as some of the neigh¬ 
bouring groups, was yet exceedingly sweet and 
interesting. The golden Lilium thunbergianum, 
Orange Queen, Iris Korolkowi, I. K. violacea, I. 
lupina, I. vaga, I. Leichtlini, and a various assort¬ 
ment of Calochortus, Lilium rubellum, Tritonias, 
&c., &c. It was a very valuable collection and one 
which attracted numerous lovers of this class of 
plants. 
Messrs. J. Cheat & Sons, Lowfield Nursery, 
Crawley, Sussex, exhibited hardy alpine and her¬ 
baceous plants. The alpines were arranged on 
an " impromptu ” rockery with abutting pockets, 
mounds, recesses, &c. Such pretty subjects as 
Daphne Cneorum.Gentiana verm, Saxifraga Tagetis, 
Phlox setacea, Dodocatheum jefferyanum, Phlox 
lilacina, Trollius europeus, &c. They also set up a 
narmd collection of choice Violas and flowering 
sprays of hardy trees and shrubs. 
Mr. T. Anstiss, High Street, Brill, showed a splen¬ 
did lot of the double yellow sweet scented Tulip 
Mrs. Anstiss, a magnificent variety. 
Messrs. Geo. Jackman & Son, Woking Nursery, 
Surrey, staged a beautiful collection of hardy flower¬ 
ing plants in baskets and boxes. The whole group 
was well finished off and carefully put together. It 
included that sweet Aquilegiaglandulosa, Geum coc¬ 
cineum plenum, Delphinium nudiflcrum,Primula sik- 
kimensis, Dodocatheum splendidum, Saxifraga 
longifolium, Orchis foliosa, pink Paeonies, Cytisus 
incarnatus purpureus, and such other choice things. 
Mr. Arthur Knowles, Woking, Surrey, showed a 
basket of Daphne Cneorum major and an improved 
form of it. The new major is clearly larger and 
better in all respects, being deeper coloured and 
more perfectly formed. 
Messrs. Dobbie & Co., Rothesay, N.B., have 
achieved the first triumph among Sweet Peas in this 
the Sweet Pea bicentenary year. They arranged a 
gloriously pretty table of Sweet Peas, cut with 
foliage, stem, flower, and tendrils. Could anything 
be more graceful or lovely ? Here was Boreatton, 
Emily Henderson, Navy Blue, Her Majesty, Lady 
Nina Balfour, New Countess, Fashion, Prince of 
Wales, Stanley, and many leading varieties, strong 
and perfect. 
Messrs. Sutton & Sods' present exhibit of this 
popular South African flower (Nemesia) was par¬ 
ticularly attractive on account of the original t; pe 
being brought into close comparison with the new 
“hybrids.” These “ hybrids ” are distinctly novel 
and pretty. The colours range from pure white to 
crimson, and when seen in a mass a most delicate 
dreamy effect is produced. The original type, 
Nemesia strumosa Suttoni, introduced into England 
by Messrs. Sutton & Sons, Reading, in 1888, is 
shown in four perfectly distinct colours, pale yellow, 
rose-pink, rich orange, and crimson—all coming true 
from seed. The plants of this large flowered type 
were arranged round the edges of the staging, some 
being grown in pots and others in boxes. The whole 
of the central staging was occupied with the new 
form known as Nemesia Strumosa Suttoni nana 
compacta, of which we give an illustration on p. 617. 
They ranged from pure white to cream, lilac-rose, 
blue, and orange. Many of them were distinct 
bicolors. The plants were most profusely flowered, 
but partly dashed about by the heavy rain when 
being taken into No. 3 tent on the opening morning 
of the show. The plants were taller than they 
otherwise would have been if grown under natural 
conditions in the open air, where they flower most 
profusely as bedding plants. By sowing under glass 
and also in the open air a succession can be kept up 
in the open as well as for conservatory purposes.

The fact that we have twice been able to get plants home under the almost impossible conditions now prevailing in Colombia, 
fills us with satisfaction, and we need hardly say we guarantee every plant true Pacho, which is more than saying “ Pacho type.” 
Notwithstanding we are the only importers this season, buyers will find our prices as strictly reasonable as heretofore, and we 
invite inspection with confidence.
