HARDY  AUTUMN  FLOWERS. 
WE  view  with  dread  the  prospect  which  appears 
before  us.  We  feel  that  all  too  soon  shall 
the  garden’s  pleasures  vanish  before  the  frost,  and 
leave  ns  forlorn  and  longing  for  the  coming  round 
of  spring.  Frost  and  snow  and  wintry  rain  shall 
steal  our  treasures  away. 
“  First  drops  the  bloom,  then  darkens  the  green  leaf ; 
Everything  in  life  is  brief 
Save  autumn’s  deepening  gloom  and  winter’s  change¬ 
less  grief.’’ 
Few'er  are  the  flowers  even  now,  and  before 
long  their  ranks  will  he  sadly  thinned.  Frost  we 
have  had,  sufficiently  severe  to  injure  the  leaves 
of  the  Dahlias,  Tropteolurns,  and  plants  of  similar 
tenderness,  but  not  enough  to  deprive  us  of  all 
their  blooms,  or  to  mar  the  hardier  flowers.  This 
year  it  has  not  come,  as  it  often  does,  with  little 
warning,  sweeping  down  upon  ns  from  the  bitter 
North  with  furious  biting  breath,  and  shrivelling 
before  our  eyes  the  leaves  and  flowers.  It  stole 
upon  us  gently,  as  if  unwilling  to  harm  our  flowers, 
and  gave  |.>lace  to  drenching  rain,  far  from  pleasant 
to  see  or  feel. 
Thus,  though  the  leaves  fall  faster  every  day 
and  hedges  grow  thin  and  leaves  are  lit  u[)  by 
autumn’s  fiery  tint,  we  Lave  many  bright  flowers 
in  our  garden  yet.  Sunflowers  have  almost  gone, 
or  look  unhappy  now  that  their  deity  has  lost  his 
power.  The  Water  Lilies  in  the  pool  have  their 
buds  arrested ;  never  will  these  flowers  charm  us 
this  year  again.  Their  leaves  begin  to  decay,  and 
soon  shall  mingle  with  the  waters  on  which  they 
float,  to  make  again  fresh  sustenance  for  flowers 
and  leaves.  There  are  tokens  of  decay  all  around, 
yet  even  without  the  beauty  yielded  by  many  of 
the  dying  leaves  the  time  has  its  chaste  pleasures 
for  us  still. 
There  are  Heleniums  and  IMichaelmas  Daisies 
in  plenty,  and  here  and  there,  as  we  look  along  the 
rock  garden  or  the  border,  we  see  some  bright  patch 
of  colouring  lighting  it  up.  The  choice  of  flowers 
is  limited  now,  and  we  cannot  hut  think  those 
left  are  doubly  dear.  They  are  the  last  of  our 
friends  for  the  year,  unless  it  may  be  some  of  the 
rarer  Snowdrops  and  Croci,  which  seem  to  laugh  at 
winter’s  effort  to  hid  them  halt.  The  frost  has  left 
its  mark  upon  the  Eccremocarpus  scaber,  which
