Fritillaries

SIR.-1 was much interested in Mr. Grigson's article about fritillaries, as both the white and purple grow in profusion in - this exceptionally cold. wet garden, where the soil is the heaviest clay imaginable. I do not know how long the flowers have been here as we have only been in this enchanting spot for seven springs.—Yours truly,

Fanners, Wivelsfield Green, Sussex. CLARE ROBINSON.
