THE GARDEN I NO WORLD 
November 12, 1904. 
wise known as Aralia 'Sieboldi, Veronica salicornoides, V. 
lycopodioides, Ligustrum ovalifolium anreum, Weigela looy- 
nran&ii aurea, Euonymus radicans variegatus, E. japonicus 
microphyllus. All of these last-named are chiefly valuable for 
the sake of their foliage. They are also very dwarf, with the 
exception of the Ligustrum and Weigela, but being very golden 
they grow very slowly, and submit to very hard pruning, so that 
you' can keep them within any desired limit. By this means 
the Privet might, in fact, be pruned at any time of the year when 
necessary, but more particularly in spring and summer. 
Bulbs that Flower in Autumn. 
Would you name a few hardy bulbs that flower naturally in 
the autumn? (B. J.) 
A number of the Colchicums naturally flower in autumn and 
later on. These would include C. autumnal©, C. a. flore pleno, 
C. variegatum, C. Bivonae ; also Crocus speciosus, C. pulchellus, 
C. iridiflorus, C. sativus, Sternbergia lutea, S.l. major, Schizo- 
stylis coocdnea, Scilla autumnal is, and various others if it were 
possible to obtain them.
