Two ESTABLISHED FLOWERS.

In the garden of a famous county house I saw last week a great quantity of the two flowers brought over from the Far East a few years ago by Mr. Ward. The charms of both have been urged before in this place. They are now generally accepted, I think, by our best gardeners as real additions to the glory of the garden .; and both have proved "good doers."' One is Meconopsis Baileyi, that gorgeous blue poppy from Thibet ; and it is proved to be a perennial. The other is Florindac, a primula not so much of exceptional beauty as of excepticinal size and lustiness. Both will grow readily enough from seed.
