the Myosotis have always been favorities, especially 
the little Forget-me-not, M. palustris, though nearly all 
the varieties are called by this name The plants like a 
moist, cool situation, but succeed in any fair garden soil

FRINGE.

very much admired for its curious fringe, or 
hair-like, flowers, that cover the whole surface 
of the plant in summer ; grows from 10 to 12 feet

GYPSOPHILA. 
Paniculata is one of the 
best Gypsophilas, the 
delicate flowers growing 
in large branching heads, 
as seen in the engraving, 
and make excellent trim¬ 
ming for bouquets, either 
green or dried, making a 
delicate net-work over the 
surface that all admire. 
Gypsophila paniculata, good plants,. 25 
HONEYSUCKLES. 
These are considc r- 
cd by many the most 
desirable of all our 
hardy climbers. Cer¬ 
tain it is that the asso¬ 
ciations connected 
with the fragrant 
Honeysuckle will 
make them always 
popular. Among 
flowers none are 
more classic in flow- 
er-lorc, none more 
prized by people, 
prince or poet than 
the Honeysuckle. 
Its common, or 
rather poetic, name 
is the Woodbine, the botanical name is Lonicera, given 
in honor of a German botanist. The Monthly Fragrant 
we have now in flower, as it has been for the last six 
months, and it will continue to give its sweet blossoms 
until after quite severe frosts. 
Honeysuckle, Scarlet Trumpet, monthly, ever¬ 
green, or nearly so, flowers 2 inches long; scarlet 
outside and yellow inside. Although an old va¬ 
riety it is one of the very best, the flowers being 
more showy than the lighter colored varieties, . 25

HOLLYHOCK. 
SEE ENGRAVING, PAGE 43. 
There are very few plants in the world so large, so 
grand, and yet so perfect and delicate as the Hollyhock. 
Its flowers are quite as double, and almost as pure and 
perfect as those of the Camellia, and when we remem¬ 
ber that they mass around a column from three to five 
feet in height, we get some idea of their beauty. Seeds 
sown in the spring produce plants that will bloom the 
second summer. Plants set out in the spring will flower 
about midsummer, and for several years if not allow¬ 
ed to bloom too freely the first year. We have excel¬ 
lent, healthy young plants grown from seed, that if 
planted in the spring will flower the first summer, and 
usually for two or thee summers after. The colors are 
nicely assorted, so that almost every color, from white 
to purple, may be expected.

HYDRANGEA. 
Everybody knows the Hydrangea, an old Pot Plant, 
with a globular mass of flowers, and when well grown a 
very good thing; but everybody don't know that the 
finest addition made to our flowering shrubs in twenty 
years is a hardy Hydrangea, called Hydrangea panicu¬ 
lata grandifiora. It is as hardy as a Lilac bush, a 
medium-sized, hard-wooded shrub, bearing on the tops 
of the branches immense clusters of white flowers. 
These clusters are sometimes almost a foot in height and 
about the same in width, the form and general appear¬ 
ance of which we have endeavored to show in the en¬ 
graving.
