Tho once-tiespised daisy has become
shionable flower within recent
y a, and is aow gromi in great
quantities for market in greenhouses.
Likewise, the dandelion is being im-
proved by cultivatioa, and may yet ho
deviloped into A really magnificent
flowei, golden yellow, five or six
inches in tilaineter and with petals
multiplied in number.
The original chrysanthemum, from
which all the superb varietie.s we
know to -day are descended, was, in its
wild state, no bigger or handsomer
than a dandelion. It is found that the
latter grows with astonishing rapidity
and luxuriance of bloom under cheese-
cloth shade.
Buttercups of several varietiee and
superior size (the plants being multi-
plied by dividing the roots) are now
grown in hothouses; likewise yellow
and red violets. In Iate winter there
is cultivated demand for cultivated
spring wild flowers ahead of the sea-
son; also for pansiies, which them-
selves were -wild f3,owers and unknown
to gardens up to 1810.
in that year a little girl named
Mary Bennet, a daughter of the Earl
of Tankerville, undertook to plant
her garden at Walton-on-Thamee
every variety of pansy she could find.
Before long pansy culture became the
rage, and even te the present day it
is a popular fad in Europe.
Hitherto it has not been found prac-
ticable to tame the wild mayflower or
trailing arbutus, but discovery has
recently been made of the -fact that
it will grow luxuriantly in pots if
supplied with soil composed of half -
rotted oak leaves mixed with 10 per
cent. of sand and a liberal guantity of
small, broken bits a old flowerpots
for drainage. -
Now that this has becm ascertained,
lit is presumable that the much -ad,
I mired arbutus will be grown before
long in quantities under glass for the
late winter market. In the state
it is already rare, owing largely to
the eager persistence with which in
springtime people seek and pluck the
blossoms, or even dig up the plants,
thus depliving them of an opportunity
to produce seeds and keep the species
going.
