. My garden in summer . his season, remindingone of one of the best of Orange Tulips, Tulipa Gesnerianaaurantiaca, but the Meconopsis has an additional charmin a singularly rich brown-madder eye that would ensurea First Class Certificate for the Tulip if it could be trans-ferred to it. The accompanying illustration shows howfreely this little American Poppy flowers, but cannotconvey any idea of its glorious colouring. We seem to have run all round the garden after thesePoppies, but only mentally, and we are still standing bythe grey corner of Tom Tiddlers ground, for I want you,before you move away, to admire a group of a seedlingDelphinium that we love very much. It is a tall, stronggrower, and has a perfect Bella Donna blue colour anda good white eye, and yet is as robust, hardy, and chop-up-able as any of the fat-growing, easy-going sorts thatpoison ones eye with baleful mixtures of blue and call it Delphinium Dining-room-window, as thatdescribes the position in which it first showed its pure 130. Meconopsis hcterophylla. (Seep. ijO-) A June Stroll turquoise colouring, and where the old plant still in the middle of the silver variegated plants, andbacked by the purple-leaved colony that makes the foilfor the gold and silver plants, it shows off its beauty tofullest advantage. Silene fimbriata grows at its feet, andis rather a coarse plant, but produces large, pure whiteflowers, with their petals fringed as finely as the silkentassels that accompany dance programmes, and if somebunches of the seed heads are cut off now and then willcontinue flowering till frost comes. In front of it acolony of Verhascum phoeniceum is trying to reproducethe effect achieved by the lilac and purple Tulips lastmonth, but not quite so richly. This species is notmade enough of in most gardens; the light spikes ofbloom vary wonderfully in colour from pure white throughrosy-mauve and lavender to deepest purple, and a littleselection soon ensures pleasant blendings. i
