All it requires is a rich soil and a replanting every second or third year. Old, half- starved plants will not perfect the large, well-shaped flowers characteristic of this variety, nor will such neglected plants continue to flower until fall, like a strong newly planted C. lanceolata, but when not allowed to grow into each other or spread out so as to cover too much ground, they will, in my humble opinion, give better and more lasting satisfaction than C. lanceolata. It is an old variety, no new introduction, though not so well known as C. lanceo- lata. The above was not written with a view to furnish anew list of twelve hardy plants for the amateur. It would hardly answer the purpose because, with the exception of the primula, no early spring flowering plants are mentioned. The bulk of bloom would come in at midsea- son and some would continue until fall, but all possess the additional value of being excellent cut flowers, useful to the amateur as well as the professional. I miRht have added a few more equally valuable species of easy culture, but an amateur or professional beginner, not acquainted with the subject would be puzzled, I am afraid, in selecting from a list much larger than it is now.
