Plant Associations It is sad to reflect that in England so few gardens open to the public label their plants or label them so that the label is visible when that plant is in flower, so that visitors can identify; and then later locate and purchase that plant. Few mail-order nurseries provide the detail as shown in my rose or heather galleries. If you want to sell a product, it is best to display it. When I sold my Transit van, I removed its signage, cleaned it and took photos of the inside and outside before putting them onto an advert in Autotrader amongst more than 2000 other Transit vans - it was sold in 20 minutes. If mail-order nurseries could put photos to the same complexity from start of the year to its end with the different foliage colours and stages of flowering on Wikimedia Commons, then the world could view the plant before buying it, and idiots like me would have valid material to work with. I have been in the trade (until ill health forced my Sole Trader retirement in 2013) working in designing, constructing and maintaining private gardens for decades and since 2005 when this site was started, I have asked any nursery in the world to supply photos. R.V. Roger in Yorkshire allowed me to use his photos from his website in 2007 and when I got a camera to spend 5 days in July 2014 at my expense taking photos of his roses growing in his nursery field, whilst his staff was propagating them. I gave him a copy of those photos. |

Although many of the Fritillarias are more distinguished for their singularity than for the brilliance of their colouring, there are few more interesting garden plants.
The varieties of the broad-leaved form of Fritillaria meleagris are but little grown in Great Britain.There are now (in 1901) many pretty species which are quite easy to grow, but which do not need such a damp position as suits Fritillaria meleagris best, although it grows in dry soil as well.
are all of interest to those who care for such flowers. |

Funkias, or Plantain Lilies, are among the most ornamental of our hardy flowers, and look exceedingly ornamental in borders or by the margin of water, where their fine leaves are in keeping with their surroundings. They all like some shade, but to induce Funkia subcordata (syn Funkia grandiflora) to flower well it should have a warm, sunny place. They are best planted in spring |

Galanthus |
|
|

The Galanthus, or Snowdrop, is one of our chastest and most beautiful flowers, and its pure blossoms are universally appreciated. It is more varied in character and in its time of blooming than many are aware of. The earliest Snowdrops in 1901 come into bloom in autumn or early winter, and lovers of the flower who wish to grow these interesting varieties, which are forms of Galanthus nivalis, the Common Snowdrop, will find that Galanthus corcyrensis and Galanthus octobrensis are those most easily procured. They require a rather light and sandy soil. In their general appearance they closely resemble the common form of Galanthus nivalis, but are generally recognisable by the light colour of the line which runs up the centre of the leaf. Others blooming about the same season are Galanthus rachelae and Galanthus elsae. These flowers show a tendency to draw nearer to the spring Snowdrops as they become established. |
There are too many varieties of the common Snowdrop in existence to detail, but one may name Galanthus melvillei, a splendid flower of great beauty; Galanthus poculiformis, which ha the inner and outer segments of alost equal engt. Galanthus scharloki, which has sepaated spathes and a green spot at the base of each outer segment; and Galanthus aestivalis and Galanthus gusmusi, 2 late forms, as representative, if we exclude a number of named varieties which hae been raised by Mr James Allen and others. The so-called "Yellow Snowdrops" have yellow instead of green markings and ovaries. The best are Galanthus lutescens amd Galanthus flavescens. The Italian sub-species Galanthus imperati gives us some handsome flowers, larger than those of our native Snowdrop; the finest is the variety Galanthus atkinsi, a noble Galanthus . The sub-species Galanthus caucasicus is principally noteworthy as giving us the form Galanthus virescens, which has its flowers all flushed wth green outside. |
One of the finest Snowdrops is Galanthus elwesii from Asia Minor, of which there are many local and seedling forms. That sold as Galanthus ochrospeilus, and the larger variety named Whittalli, are equal to any other of the wild forms. Galanthus elwesii is not long-lived in many gardens. It seems to prefer a rather moist, peaty soil. Galanthus latifoius is a very distinct Snowdrop with broad, bright green leaves. Unfortunately, it is rather too delicate for our British climate in 1901, and the newer Galanthus ikarie is preferable. It has handsome bright green leaves, with arching habit, and pretty flowers. Galanthus plicatus, the Crimean Snowdrop, is troublesome because f the unaccountable way in which it often disappears. It is, however, so fine and distinct, with its revolute leaves, that it should be tried. Hybrids between it and Galanthus elwesii are often hardier than either of the parents. Galanthus byzantinus may be a hybrid of this parentage. It is needless to refer to the cultivation of the Snowdrop further than to say that it seems to do best planted in the grass, and that it is much finer in a rather moist, peaty soil. When grown in pots it should not have much heat. |

Galtonia, or Hyacinthus, candicans is the best of the 3 species, whose white, drooping bells look remarkably handsome, especially when associated with such plants as the scarlet Gladiolus brenchleyensis. It should be planted in spring, about 6 inches (15 cms) deep. Although hardy in most gardens, in some it must be lifted and stored in winter, or well protected with dry ashes or litter. |

Gladiolus |

While the magnificent hybrid Gladioli are not hardy in the greater number of gardens, and are therefore referred to along with half-hardy bulbs, it will be found desirable to attempt their cultivation in warm localities as hardy flowers, planting deeply and giving them a little protection in the way of a mulch of dry litter in autumn, and removing it in spring. We have, however, a few species which are quite hardy, although some are better of a little protection for the first winter. The hardiest of these is
Then the varieties of the early-flowering Gladioli named in catalogues may be accounted almost hardy on light dry soils, especally if protected for the winter after being planted. Such forms as

The Day Lilies are very ornamental plants, although their usefulness in the garden is reduced by the individual blooms only lasting for the 1 day. The number available for gardens has been increased by varieties raised by hybridisation and cross-breeding, and some of these are of much value. |
