not passed unnoticed. Of the former, 
Teiuiir o-rows to a height of eighteen 
inches and has flowers four times as large 
as the old dwarf sorts. Of the forget- 
me-nots Ruth Fischer has fine flowers of 
great size, and there is also a new double- 
flowered form. 
The garden '“pinks” (Diaiitlnis) have 
been developed into a number of beautiful 
named varieties, and the new mirabilis 
strain makes a strikingly beautiful flower. 
In annual phlox the new large-flowering 
Cecily marks the present height of 
achievement. 
'fhe variegated or onyx leaved nas¬ 
turtiums are not new, but a good many 
people seem still to be unaware of their 
existence. By all means try them this 
year if vou have not already done so. 
.-\mong gladioli every year sees the in¬ 
troduction of several good new sorts, but 
the most striking recent development is 
Kunerdi Glory, the first with ruffled 
petals and remarkably beautiful. Mrs. 
Francis King, soft pink, and Peace, white, 
are two grand new giant flowered sorts. 
The annual climbing vines also have 
several remarkable new things to show. 
First of all the new Cardinal Climber, a 
brilliant and distinct vine, with beautiful 
foliage and flowers of intense cardinal 
red, one and a half inches across, and 
borne from July until frost. It grows 
thirty feet tall. This will undoubtedly 
become a great favorite, as it gives us a 
new color in this class of plants. 
The variegated Japanese hop is the 
most beautiful annual foliage vine, the in¬ 
dividual leaves being beautifully mottled, 
and the effect of the wdrole vine, which is 
a healthy, rapid climber, being quite won¬ 
derful. Early Sky Blue wdll do much to 
win for the moonflower its deserved place 
among all who have room for a climbing 
vine. 
Besides all the above, many other dis¬ 
tinct and valuable new flowers may be 
found, and any of them should serve as 
an inspiration to the gardener, who loves 
plants sufficiently to attempt the selec¬ 
tion and possible improvement of any of 
them for his own garden. A little atten¬ 
tion to these newer and better things, and 
a little effort along the lines sugge.sted in 
the first part of this article, will make the 
garden not only more beautiful, but vastly 
more interesting than ever before.

flour or fine tankage, or two or three of 
these mixed together. 
All plants in the frames during the last 
of April and first half of May will re¬ 
quire daily attention and almost daily 
watering. Watch constantly for any sign 
of green aphis or plant-lice, and keep on 
hand a supply of Aphid ])oison and strong 
tobacco dust, to be ready for immediate 
action if they appear. Keep the glass off 
as much as possible, while maintaining the 
reepured degree of temperature.
