. The parks, promenades, & gardens of Paris, described and considered in relation to the wants of our own cities, and the public and private gardens. Gardens; Parks. SUBTROPICAL GARDEN. 233 planting, but merely asking for alittle ordinarypreparation of the soil at firsthand yet they are merelygrown as adjuncts even in good gardens, and in many you can scarcely FlG- 87- find them. For every quality that should make a plant valuable in the eyes of the flower gardener, they cannot be surpassed by any subjects that re- quire expensive care all through the winter; indeed we may say they cannot be equalled by any of such—a suffi- cient proof that it is not only those who possess stoves, green- houses, and glass-gar- dens, so to speak, that may enjoy the highest beautyin their gardens. A most satisfactory result may be produced by asso- ciating these Tritomas with the Pampas and the two Arundos, the large Statice latifolia, and the strong and beautiful autumn-flowering Anemone japonica alba. This is peculiarly suited for association with hardy herbaceous plants of fine habit, and should be in every garden where a hardy flower is valued. Verbascum vbknale.—Most of us know how very dis- tinct and imposing are the larger Verbascums, and those who have attempted their culture must soon have found out what transient far-seeding things they are. Of a biennial character, their culture is most unsatisfactory: they either migrate into the adjoining shrubbery or disappear altogether. The possession of a thoroughly noble perennial one must therefore be a desideratum, and such a plant will be found in the Hungarian Verbascum vernale. This is fine in leaf.
