Teucrium (lati- folia) is light bltle and a free bloomer: the sterile steins are prostrate and it eflect- ually covers the ground. V. prostrata is a smaller-leaved form of the last named, with brighter blue flowers, very much like V. rupestris. The blue, white and rose V. spicata are erect growers and all are excellent as cut flowers. V. montana resembles V. Teucrium in habit and foli- age, but blooms later. V. rupestris

V. rupestris is a small-leaved species, creeping close to the ground; the flowers are a brilliant blue, produced in greatest profusion. Anthericum Liliastrum major is truly a most useful cut flower; well established clumps send up a profusion of long, erect stems, terminated by a number of pure white flowers, resembling small Lilium candidum. They are excellent keepers and all fairly developed buds on the stems will open when placed in water, the same as the better known day lilies. No spe- cial treatment is required for the anther- icums. I only may mention that the plants should not have a very dry posi- tion and are better off for not being dis- turbed too frequently. J. B. K. CHRYSANTHEMUMS. TIMOTHY EATON. We desire in guiding growers of Tim- othy Eaton aright and making it a suc- cess, to say th^t the flower being natu- rally a large one requires that the plant to produce perfect specimens should be grown only to single stems, givirig lib- eral space. Ours last year (as seen by Mr. Scott, ol Buffalo, and other promi- nent florists) were planted in three-foot beds, five plants across the beds and nine inches between the rows. All were planted in like manner. This does not mean that for exhibition or special mar- ket purposes a larger space would not be advantageous, which it certainly would be. The crown bud must not be taken before the end of August or beginning of September, and grea
