Phlox Coquelicot. — This Phlox, which has attracted a good deal of attention of late, owing
to the brilliant colouring of its blossoms, seems to be but little known, while, judging liv the catalogues, very few, if any, of our nurserymen have it in stock. It is therefore wortliy of note that this variety is one of the many triumphs of that eminent hybridist, M. Lemoine, of Nancy", by whom it was sent out in 1896. and in whose catalogue it occurs among the varieties of 1896. On .July 27 the members of the floral committee of the Royal Horticultural Society met at Chiswick to take under consideration the Pentstemons, Cannas and Pliloxes growing there. The variety Coquelicot on this occasion received an award of merit, an honour bestowed on some other varieties from the same raiser, viz., Evenment, rosy salmon, with a violet eye ; Tourbillon, very large flowers of a rich salmon-carmine tint ; and Beranger, soft salmon- pink, rayed wich white, and a violet centre. Theie are now so many bright and effective varieties of this class of Phlox, that there is no excuse for planting the dull lilacs and washed-out purples that are so often seen. — H. P.
We see that the phlox Coquelicot has been much noticed and appreciated in England by your
having twice published paragraphs about it in your paper. Its origin is as follows ; We obtained this plant from seed and put it into commerce in the autumn of 1895 as a novelty. It appears in our last catalogue under the heading of " Varieties of 1896," p. 76. The plant the flowering of which has been noticed at Kew came directly from us."
