Following a fashion of the sea- son the vogue for blue has been earried into flower land. From the deepest and richest of cornflower blues to the delicate mauve-blues of the sweet pea, an infinite variety of blues in larkspur, blus scabious. and the dark purply-blue of carna tions, all evidently have been great- ly cultivated by flower growers, this | season with an eye to one of the favourite fashion colours.
