. Familiar garden flowers . Flowers; Plants, Ornamental; Floriculture. THE EUDBECKTA. liildhci'liu h'irlif. VIIDY licrLaceous plants have been rising in jjublic i'aA'uur dur- ing the past ten years or so, but they will never so entirely engross the admiration of the I^nglish amateur as certain over-zealous advocates believe and desire. The world is tolerably wise as to what it wants, and it is useless for specialists to go crazy because the world -will not implicitly follow their lead. The truth is, the English gar- den is a rafter of the English household made up of good things from all parts of the world, and the pelargoniums of the Cape and the calceolarias of Peru are as worthy of a place in it as the lilies of the Levant or the fuchsias of the Falklands. People who enter upon gardening as a recreation are usually eclectic in their tastes, and arc verj- quick in dis- tinguishing good things from bad ones, and those who seek applause by crying up herbaceous weeds and crj'iug down bedding ]ilants that make the garden grandly gay.
