rpHIS  superb  variety  introduced  by  ourselves  two

and  is  now  acknowledged  to  be  the  finest  all-round 
bedding  variety  in  existence.  It  is  of  dwarf  compact 
habit  and  remarkably  profuse  in  blooming,  producing 
flowers  of  the  most  intense  blue  with  a  minute  white 
eye.  The  following  appreciations  of  this  variety 
speak  for  themselves ; —

habit  and  indigo-blue  flowers  with  white  centre;

and  rich  hlui  of  the  floweris  very  striking.’’

of 
of 
life  through  myriads  of  chan¬ 
nels,  and  long  sealed  buds  burst 
out  into  all  their  bravery  of 
green,  and  growth,  and  blossom, 
the  subject  seems  rather  to  be  oue 
of  the  past,  or  of  the  future,  than  of 
the  present.  Yet  with  [work  which  is 
always,  to  more  or  less  extent,  aimed  at  objects 
ahead,  it  is  not  so.  The  past,  the  present,  and 
the  future  are  but  connecting  stages  to  the 
goal  of  success. 
And  we  are  a  stage,  too,  not  the  end; 
Others  will  come  our  work  to  mead. 
This,  apart  from  the  wdde  diversity  and 
broad  range  of  character  found  in  the  great 
kingdom  of  silent  life,  which,  indeed,  brings 
some  phases  of  rest  under  immediate  notice, 
and  claiming  almost  immediate  attention. 
The  benefits  of  rest  are  obvious  enough,  and 
the  absolute  necessity  of  suspended  action  for 
recuperation  generally  recognised.  This  being 
admitted,  the  present  object  is  to  particularise 
some  few  things  prominent  in  horticulture,  and 
pertinent  to  cultivators,  in  which  the  broad 
ethics  of  rest,  according  as  they  are  respected 
or  neglected,  entail  success  or  failure,  or,  at 
least,  a  mediocrity  which  some  may  tolerate, 
but  which  to  the  good  gardener  is  an  utter 
abomination. 
The  thorough  resting  of  bulbs,  corms,  aud 
tuberous-rooted  plants  is  very  important,  aud 
amongst  this  great  family  the  Narcissi  rank 
high.  The  Irish  growers,  Messrs.  Hogg  aud 
ILobertson,  so  fully  recognise  this,  that  they 
have  built  a  spacious  ventilated  shed  in  which 
their  enormous  stock  of  Daffodil  bulbs  are 
annually  stored  after  lifting  until  replanted. 
The  marvellous  foliage  and  flowers  borne  by 
these  bulbs  from  Rush,  Co.  Dublin,  is  evidence 
of  the  soundness  of  their  treatment ;  such
