THE GARDENING WORLD. 
October 1, 1904. 
flore pleno, several of tihe ishrubby species of Spiraea, the white, 
rose, and soar let Hawthorns, Double Cherry, Bird Cherry 
(Primus Padus), Crab Apples, and Flowering Currants. If you 
wish to give Roses a trial you may plant Crimson Rambler, 
Aimee Vibert, Felicite, Perpetue, and any strong-growing varie¬ 
ties which you find to succeed in the garden. Fuchsia Riocartoni 
might also be tried, because you could keep a few spare plants 
in reservei in pots in some 1 house from which frost wasl excluded, 
so that if your plants occasionally get killed outside, you Would 
have something to fall back upon. A few annual plants might 
be tried, if you have no> objection to rearing fresh ones every 
year, including Ipomoea purpurea, in variety, Tropaeolum 
majus, T. canariensis, and the perennial T. speciosum, which 
succeeds so well in the valleys of the mountain regions of Scot¬ 
land. 
“ Flora of Sussex.” 
Will you kindly inform me where I can obtain the “ Flora of 
Sttscx ? ” I have had one lent me by “ Arnold,” but no address 
where I could get it. If you can assist me I shall be obliged. 
(Flora.) 
The most recent “ Flora, of Sussex ” was published in 1887, so 
that possibly it is now very scarce. It was prepared by the Rev. 
F. H. Arnold, M.A., LL.B., and was at one time sold by Messrs. 
Hamilton, Adams, and Co., London, but we doubt if you would 
be able to get it there. You might, however, try Mr. Wilms- 
hurst, publisher, of Chichester. 
Shrubs for Late Flowering. 
Please name a number of shrubs suitable for late flowering in 
the open. (A. W. H.) 
There are some very beautiful varieties of the Syrian Mallow 
(Hibiscus syriacus), and popularly 'known in gardens, asi well as 
nurserymen’s lists, under the name of Althaea, frutex. The correct 
name, is that, however, which we give above. There are several 
varieties, and you might consult lists for colour and whether 
single or double. A very beautiful variety, however, is H. syriacus 
Coeleste. There are, however, other varieties, including white 
ones and a white with purple blotch at the base. It would be 
useless to name varieties unless we were conversant with your 
nurseryman’s list, and that you can readily consult for yourself. 
Another handsome late-flowering subject is Clerodendron tricho- 
tomum, which is hardy in the Southern Counties, and also near 
the sea coast in ethers. You would do well also to get. Buddleia 
variabilis veitchiana, Potentilla fruticosa., Spiraea japonica varie- 
gata, S. j. Bumulda, S. j. Anthony Waterer, S. j. albai, Colletia 
crucial a, best known perhaps in trade lists as 1 C. horrida. The 
Spiraeas in early districts should be closely out back in March, 
which will have the effect of producing late and strong growths, 
which will flower freely in the autumn. Even if your district is 
late it will be. advantageous sometimes to cut the- bushes 
thoroughly well back, especially if you desire them to be dwarf 
and grow strongly. In any case it is a good method for en¬ 
couraging free and late flowering. There are also numerous 
varieties of shrubby Veronicas which flower late in the season, 
but unless you are in a. favourable district near the sea coast it 
will be necessary to grow these in.pots or tubs and take them into 
a greenhouse, in September. They include V. sp.ecio.sa, V. s. 
imperialis, and other varieties of that species, a® well as V. 
decussata, V. Andersoni variegata, V. parvi flora, and others. 
The above, however, will give you a good start in collecting 
autumn flowering shrubs. The Potentilla practically flowers from 
.July toi October.
