HEW DWARF CORNFLOWER.
A particularly attractive bedding plant was exhibited at one of the last season's shows at the R.H.S., London. It was a new dwarf cornflower, Cyanus Minor Blue Gem, which was recommended for trial at Wisley. This grows only about 9in high, and has tufts of flowers springing from a short central stem. For bedding and garden decoration generally this type should be far superior to the tall cornflower, which, though excellent for cut blooms, is rather disappointing as a garden plant by reason of its awkward habit of growth.
