WATTE IN "HORTICULTURE" The Schizanthtts grandiflorus Boddingtonii, when well grown, is one of the most desirable annuals for greenhouse culture. As a con- servatory plant it is unequaled, lasting in bloom for months; as a cut-flower for dinner table, or other decoration, it is one of the daintiest things that can be used. The past season we have used it frequently, and it never failed to bring forth admiration. It is of very easv culture, but will not stand coddling in any shape or form. The young plants should never be allowed to become stunted, or pot-tiouncj, but should always be kept on the move. A cool treatment is what it delights in. The finest variety that I have had the privilege of growing yet is the one figured on the frontispiece. This shows merely a single spray and was taken to show the individual flowers, and not the habit, of the plant. This is indeed a splendid variety, and the introducer, Arthur T. Boddington, deserves great credit for it. The colors are most varied, the flowers large and well formed, and the habit is all that can be desired for a pot-plant, being very compact and bushy.
