MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.

PAGE

3. Yellow Jasmine, Jasminum nudiflorum.

15. Hart's-tongue, Scolopendrium vulgare. This splendid fern will grow with great luxuriance set in a little rock-work on the

floor of the greenhouse, and in the shade afforded by the shelves or stages on which the ordinary plants are placed.

37. Daffodils, Narcissus Pseudo-narcissus. It is worth while to grow both the old, wild, single flower, and also the double variety. The single flower is much finer in form, but the double one is richer in colour, and blooms earlier.

67. Whinberry: the common Whortleberry, Vaccinium Myrtillus. In this neighbourhood it is always called 'Whinberry' or 'Wimberry.' Among the working-people the fruit is much used for puddings, and in autumn the children go out upon the moors in troops to gather it. A Lancashire lad takes an especial pleasure in seeing his mouth purple-stained with the juice of this fruit.

69. Lady's-mantle, Alchemilla vulgaris. There are few lovelier things than a leaf of Alchemilla with a drop of dew or rain lying like a diamond in the hollow of its cup.

69. Wood-sorrel, Oxalis Acetosella. The Irish Shamrock.

74. Solomon's-Seal, Polygonatum multiflorum. The bees are fond of this flower, and take great pains to force themselves into its narrow corolla.

74. Star-of-Bethlehem, Ornithogalum umbellatum.

77. Blue-bell, Hyacinthus non-scriptus. The English Blue-bell, not the Scotch Blue-bell, Campanula heterophylla.
