them, which is every chance I get to go outside, they look fresh and
green and bid fair promise of much pleasure in the spring and summer
when, if they grow as those I raised a year ago under glass jars did, it
will be a marvel to watch them. I think it a far more satisfactory way
to raise Roses than to buy small rooted plants from a florist; at least,
such has been my experience.--_Sister Belle._

_Editor Mayflower:_

Anyone who has never seen the Giant Browallia in bloom can never realize
how very pretty and bright it is. Last summer I saw a lovely stand of
Geraniums of various shades and among them was a pot of Browallia in
full bloom. The contrast was fine. I think the shade is very much like
that of the hardy Plumbago Lady Lapente, though I've never seen the two
together. It is a lovely shade of deep blue. With me it has only one
rival among blue flowers and that is Plumbago Capense. The latter is a
lovely delicate blue while the former is a deep dark blue. I am
unbounded in my admiration of both plants. The plants are cheap. I have
never seen it only as a pot plant yet I believe it would make a most
excellent bedding plant.--_Mrs. P. L. Young._
