The old-fashioned Fajony ofticinalis of our grand- niotlier's garden, while still popular because of iheir early flowering, have been eclipsed by the wonderful improved sorts introduced in recent years. They are the "Queen of Spring Flowers," and are well adapted for massing in beds, and particularly valuable for plant- uvT, in groups throughout the perennial or shrubbery border, where their brilliant hues add attraction to all around. Their requirements are so simple—a good, rich, deep soil, and an open, sunny fiosition; which, linwever, is not absolutely necessary, as they thrive al- most equally as well in a partly shaded position, and a liberal supply of water during their growing season be- ing sufficient to give an abundance and wealth of flow- ers, which rival the finest Roses in coloring and fra- grance, and produce during their flowering season a gorgeous effect not equalled by any other flower. They are perfectly hardy, requiring no protection whatever, even in the most severe climate, are not trouliled wilh insect pests or disease of any kind, and once planted take care of themselves, increasing in beauty each year. .\n important point to observe in
