THE PASQUE Lux.
The most beautiful flower, to my thinking, that I have secii this spring in any English garden is a wild flower, the l'asque lily. It may still be found wild in a good many places, whirl' shall be nameless, for flower eradicators are numerous, and it is one of the few to which florists have not succeeded in givinit extra size and colour ; but in a garden it can be persuaded 1.1 flower into a luxuriance very rare in nature. A gardener wit.. much delights in the flower owned a root that last year had ninety - four blooms at the same moment ; and the wealth this year nearly as great. Next in merit, perhaps, to the PaSql1C iiI) in that garden, and grown close alongside it in adorable juxtaposition, is a great patch of Anemone Robinsoniana. Anemones, especially Bridget anemones, now are of stir exceeding and overwhelming brilliance of colour that a tint so delicate as marks this variety carries the greater charm. Happily, most of the anemones arc "good doers," and inati multiply naturally at good speed.
