Ee ————————fn THE FLOWER GARDCN The name ‘Ins 18 the origh 10 conventional Fleurs-de-Lys, Luce. The name (“all hnes™) 18 derived from a fabulous deity and special atten- dant on Juno. She was entitled “‘the Goddes of the Rainbow,” and was re- presented with variegated colors on her wings, and as the Greeks supposed that ghe guided the souls of the women to their spiritual rosting-place (a s Mercury those of men), they planted Lier emble- matic flower round the tombs of their women. The Egyptians, Babylonians, and Assyrians held the Iris in much es- | teem: with 1t they crow ned the brows of the sphinx, and adorned the sceptres of their kings; and the flower may be seen as the terminal ornament on the | after. and on the monuments of the kings of Assyria and Babylon. The same idea of its regal character or its stately beauty the selection of this fower-crowned reed or flag, by the ancient Franks (the yellow Pseud- aeorus) as a soeptre, which they placed in the hand of =a newly-proclaimed | king, when they elevated him upon a shield, and bore him in state upon their | shoulders. This beautiful flower has been im- | mortalised by poets, from the when Virgil sang of the goddess whom it was the chosen emblem, down to that of Longfellow my readers recognising the quotation 0! flower de and 1¢ the river Linger to kiss thy fee OO flower of for ever world more caused time | of : ~some 01 t bloom on, t lace, $1 1.1 = Ws 1 son~. bloom on, and make fair and sweet.” fhe AMARYLLIS JOHNSONII “The Hons 1.1 n hloot n oi $4 GRANDIFL writer in ve ow | fOonr iarge ful a } each bul . 11 aryis, bs planted } 1s ¢ CRC BIINOSE » beantt p bloom $1 feet it ies the } 3 nree r stalks « t Crown d with seven al 1 s¢ lowing, erimson trasting For { and rich, fibr- d with coarse sand, 1 en charcoal for dr the soil 4 eaves oul lilies, soi] rotted manure us leaf me _ punt of bre each pot.

If a mass of spikes is required, the bulbs may be disposed abont eight inches apart, but if isolated clumps are pre- ferred. three bulbs may be planted to- gether in a triangle, mserting a stick in the centre of them, to which the three stems can be tied to prevent their being broken by the wind.

Many have been planted some time, but they grow and flower very well if put in now. - & nu % * Do not out the lawn too frequently when the weather is dry. A handsome variegated thing is fiscus, elastica variegata, The marking is ex- tremely handsome, shading from pale yellow to green, and the general habit is as robust as in the plein green var- ety. Parthworms in pots make the soil close and tenacious, snd often injure the roots of the plants. They are not desirable under these circumstances, and the pots should be rid of them by plunging them for » time in lime water ~ half-hour, or long enough for the water to thoroughly saturate all of the soil—and then withdrawing them, and allowing the water to drain off.

If the weeds are in posses- sion of the bed they may be mowed down.
