Two Favourites
A flower that has continued to increase its popularity. is, the newer type of Caucasian scabious. The flowers grow ,more satiny in texture as well as larger and deeper in colour. Every other nurseryman has his particular variety with its own name, differing little from that of its rivals. Few flowers pick better, as the phrase is ; and they are not difficult to grow. They are as useful„ to the private gardener, as to the smallholder, who finds a constant and luerative.market. Another flower that picks surprisingly well is the Ooldcq Gleam nasturtium, (as well as its sea' rlet successor). Few varieties of any flower have increased. their circulation quite so rapidly as this. You find it already in a host of cottage gardens. It has a pleasant spent (though it keeps the peculiar smack of its tribe) and the- stalk is long enough and stiff enough for the purposes of a vase. It is one of the plants that (with the dahlia and gladio- lus) the season has particularly faVoUred.
