. Cassell's popular gardening. Gardening. COMMOlSr GABDEN FLOWERS. 369 Thirty years ago Mr. John Riley of Huddersfield, took in hand and greatly improved the Antirrhinum hy means of careful selection and high cultivation; and it appears to he a statement scarcely credible, yet nevertheless true, that Mr. Riley grew plants six and seven feet in height, and four feet in diameter; and these wonderful plants were not BeedHngs, but raised from cuttings made the previous au- tumn. The Antirrhinum is a plant quite easy of cultivation; but our advice is, if any one attempts to grow it, let it be something worthy of their best care. The best way to begin would be to send about the mouth of May to Messrs. R. B. Laird and Sons, of Edin- burgh, who are now generally admitted to be the most suc- cessful cultivators of these flowers, and obtain a half-dozen or dozen plants of good named varie- ties, of distinct character. These can come by post with the soil shaken from the roots, and as soon as received they should be potted singly in small spots in light rich soil, and put into a cold frame, or under a hand-light for a few days, taking care that they are not eaten by slugs or snails. When they have established themselves ' and begin to grow, they should be planted out in a bed or border, again in good soil, and encouraged to .oTow as freely as possible. They will flower in August or September, but quite early enough to enable the grower to get a few pods of seed for his own sowing. During the summer the plants 24. AUTIRRHINTIMS.

But after the seed is gathered, there is no reason why the plants sp^ should be wasted. â > There is always a risk in keeping old plants safely through the winter; not but what they are perfectly hardy, but the plants reaUy suffer more
