Flowers OF the Old Gardens.

On many sides | see evidences that
the old-fashiOned flowers are coming
into fresh favor A bright lady writer
gives it as her experience and observa-
ton that there IS a decided restoration
Of the flowers Of our great grandmoth-
ers' gardens, such as the pconies, pop
pies, hollyhocks, sweet williams, Glove
pinks, yellow lilies, columbiues, blue
bells, hcur de lis, monks hood, phlOX-
es, lychnis, sweet sultan, and the like.
They are not only for the most part
beautiful in color and form, but great
advantage OF their cultivation is that
when once planted they will delight
the senses for years, if little atten-
ton is only given to them in the spring
by digging about the roots and apply
Ing plentiful supply OF rich compost,
and dividing their roots in the autumn
if too crowded. They bloom at sea-
son when flowers are most welcome.
Who that has been familiar with
garden of a generation ago will not
recognize this picture; 80 make an
old-fashioned garden there should be
beds Of Easter lilies mingled with
cumps of spider lilies and borders Of
sweet williams and columbines OF every
hue, intermixed with such ANIMALS as
mignonctte and sweet alyssum, edged
with blue-bells or baby's breath.
Long beds are made Of tulips OF all
colors, single and double, and clusters
Of peonies, phloXes, Glove pinks, pop
pies, and garden pinkS, with back
ground OF hollyhocks and monk 5
hood The martagon lilies, Easter Ill
les, yellow lilies, and the iris, with its
pure crimson bells, succeeded the tu-
lips, and then the June roses, which in
these days OF r0se-gardenS would not
be thought very beautiful, but at that
time were a glory. Fifty kinds of gar
den roses were planted there, besides
climbers, and bush roses, and various
kinds of monthly tea and banksia,
whose clusters of buff flowers were eX-
quisitcly beautiful. OF course, these
delicate roses were housed in the cell
| lar during the winter, but they added
great beauty to the old garden in the
summer. Compounds, foX-gloyos,
pyrethrums, and larkspurs also grew
in abundance, and cut flowers always
filled vases and dishes in the sitting
room and parlor. The blood-red, dark
crimson, and dwarf golden yellow sorts
are very effective in mixed borders.
Sweet williams have been greatly im-
proved, and produce flowers OF large
size and richness of coloring. "-Ldn-
