THE SEA HOLLY (ERYNGIUM MARITIMUM). 
No. 501 . In sealed packets, Is. 6d. each. 
A very pretty silvery-white perennial plant with prickly foliage, much resembling 
our Garden Hollies; it bears a pale blue flower, and is found growing on the coast of 
Belgium and various parts of our own English shores. It may be grown from seed, 
which should be sown in seed pans in Winter and planted out in the Spring in a soil 
composed of a mixture (if possible) of sea sand, lime rubbish, and any light soil. It 
requires considerable moisture, but, at the same time, absolute drainage is necessary. 
One of the most valuable plants for cut-flower decoration, lasting a long while. Height 
in cultivation, I to i| feet. 
DIGITALIS (FOXGLOVE.)-****®. 
Dianthus chinensis (Indian Pink.) 
—We are inclined to assert that there is no tribe of hardy flowers more 
generally known and admired than the “ Pink” tribe. We consider 
the Heddewigi section to be the finest addition to our annual flora for 
the last fifty years, and the varieties detailed below are the improved 
results from the original importation. The choice between Single and 
Double kinds we must leave to individual taste, both are grandly 
beautiful, and deserve to be grown everywhere.
