Sage, grandi- florum, Mrs. Head, and VV, B. Child. Fimbriatum is conspicuous for its thread-like petals of showy white, and grandiflorum blooms later than the tvpe. If only one form could be chosen, Maurice Prichard would be the one to select. C. Uliginosum [the Moon Daisy) was formerly known as Pyrethrum uliginosum, and is one of the most beautiful flowers ol autumn. Its tall stems, 5It. or more high, bear big white Daisy-like flowers, which seem to gleam like silver in the clear moonlight of autumn. There are few spols in which this plant will not succeed. It will run riot in a damp ditch, making clouds of blossom in September and October, but the plant is a success even in a town garden. The graceful stems are useful for cutting lor the house. It is as easily increased as a weed by division of ihe plants in spring. Cimieifuga.—The popular name of this family is Snakeroot, and they are all vigorous border plants, or may be used to beautify rougher places in the garden, shrubbery margins, etc., where the soil is sufficiently rich to support strong growths. The commonest kind is the Black Snakeroot (Cimieifuga racemosa), which has light graceful spikes of white flowers; C. japonica is also worth planting. It is a simple matter to increase them if desired by division, either in the autumn or spring. Many value them for their late flowering, and perennials that bloom after those of the midsummer are pa--t possess much value. Besides C. racemosa and C. japonica one may also plant.
