THE GARDENING WORLD 
February 13. 1904. 
for the purpose you name, and are very frequently employed, not 
only .because they are suitable, but easily grown. Amongst these 
you may place in the front rank Pelargonium radula, P. denticu- 
latum, ' P. d. filicifolium, P. fragrans, P. capitatum, P. 
tomentosum, and many others. Myrtle foliage would also prove 
useful, and also the sweet-scented Verbena (Lippia citriodora, 
better known as Aloysia). Hardy subjects that might be use! 
for the same purpose are Lavender, Rosemary, Melissa officinalis, 
Mentha rotundifolia, Thymus vulgaris, or any other species 
of Thymus that might prove agreeable. There are really many 
subjects in the Mint family that might be employed if their par¬ 
ticular odours are appreciated. Most of them are strongly 
aromatic, and some of them may be somewhat pungent, hut in 
no case, we believe, are they disagreeable.
