Sun-Lovers

The season has favoured such sun-lovers as the dahlia and some flowers so tender as to be regarded as exclusively 'suitable for the greenhouse are now revelling in the open air in exposed situations. One rough border of my acquaintanee has patches very bright with the blossom of the scyzanthus. They are flourishing side by side with the jewels of the half- hardy annual, the Nemesia, the queen of all low-growing annuals, and, incidentally, one of the most marvellous

examples of the skill of our florists. W. BEACH THOMAS. •
