ASTERS.

HhA. The long lists of imported and
improved Asters are very confusing to most
gardeners, for professional florists have
lavished much care upon this flower, and
there are more than 200 cultivated species,
all handsome. We catalogue only the best
and most distinct sorts. The varieties
named first below are dwarfest, and ad-
vance in size as named, the last being the
tallest. For early flowers, Astersmay be
sown under glass in March and transplant-
ed to the open ground when it is warm
enough. May is early enough to sow the
seed in the open ground for later flowers.
All Asters need a rich, deep soil, and large-
growing varieties, such as Victoria and
Washington, must be set a foot apart.
Dwarf varieties, of course, may be planted

have long been cultivated, but are just now becoming
popular. Their single flowers are of fine form and
size, and of many bright and tender shades. Some
varieties are quite tall, others but a few inches in
height. They show to best effect when planted along
borders beside and among shrubs. They grow well
in any soil. Pkt.

them carefully until the young plants appear. At

grow, or gives so many and such fine flowers for so
little care. The plants usually average about two
feet in height, but transplanting two or three times
seems to dwarf them and make the flowers more
double. Some of them are as perfect as Camellias
in form, and they have a wide range of brilliant and
delicate colors.

BEGONIAS.

GP.* Begonias are now grown in such large quan-
tities, both for summer decoration and winter-flower-
ing, that many people prefer sowing the seed to buy-
ing the plants. The seeds are very fine, and must be
sowed and tended with care. Sown in March in a
temperature of 60 degrees and properly transplanted
and hardened off, they soon produce flowers, and are
laden with them all summer. The tuberous-rooted
sorts are especially fine for bedding; their roots
must be dugin fall and stored away from frost in
dry sand.

CANNA.

TrTP.* (indian Shot). For tropical foliage, fine
flowers, and rich effects in bedding the Canna is now
without a rival in popularesteem. Thedwarf French
varieties also make fine pot-plants for verandas or for
winter flowering. Theseeds have a hard shell, and
should be soaked eight or ten hours in hot water be-
fore planting. Start them early, in hotbeds or in
the house, so that they may be ready to bed out the
last of May, thus blooming earlier and having a longer
season. Our seed is pure and from the best varieties.

MARGARET CARNATION,

CARNATION.

HhP. It is very fascinating work to grow Carna- |
tious from seed, especially when you are sure that the
seed is good and will produce fine flowers, as is the
case with ours, whichis imported from the purest
and finest collections grown in Europe, and will give
a large proportion of fine double flowers. Sow the
seedsin April or May, preferably under glass, in a
soil composed of light sandy loam and leaf-mold. If
tended carefully, the plants should be ready to trans-

plant to their blooming quarters in September, where
they will bloom early the next spring. Protect with,
a mulch of leaves in winter. Seeds for plants to be
grown in pots may be sown at auy time.

constantly growing in favor with the public, and
have deservedly become very popular. They are
valuable for cut-flowers, and are fine summer-bloom-

ering varieties. Being showy and free-flowering, they
are usually grown in large beds, where their bright
colors show to advantage. They may all be treated
as hardy annuals.

colored, plant them in a well-prepared bed of turfy-

should besown in pots of light sandy soil, very thinly,

Set the pots in a sunny place, a spent hotbed or cold-
frame preferably. Water and air the seedlings care-
fully. Sometimes the bulbs will flower 10 months
from the time of sowing, if carefully tended. Pkt

The Ornamental Grasses besides their beauty and

nicely for winter decoration, vases, bouquets, etc.,
if cut as soon as the heads have matured. The
smaller delicate heads are also pretty for mingling
with summer flowers. Sow the seeds thinly, and
afterwards thin the plants until they have room to
develop properly. A bed composed entirely of
grasses, with tall varieties for the center and lower
ones for edging, will be found especially beautiful. py.

PANSY.

HA. (Viola tricolor, Heartsease.) A garden without
pansies is an anomaly seldom seen now-a-days; for
their witching flower-faces are loved everywhere.
The plants will live on from year to year, like other
species of violets, but the flowers become smaller as
the parent stem grows old, and so the seeds are sown
twice a year, in spring and autumn. Those sown in
spring should have a rich shady border, and if their
flower-buds are picked off in summer, will give large,
brilliant flowers in fall. If given liguid stimulants
and plenty of water, two-inch blossoms may be had
Seed sown in autumn gives fine
plants for early spring flowering. Give these plants
protection in winter. Our seed is pure and from the
finest strains. Pkt.

SWEET PEAS.

HA. (Lathyrus odoratus:) No plant was ever more
deservedly fashionable and popular than is the Sweet
Pea just now. Seed of Sweet Peas should be sown
as early as the soil can be worked in spring, that the
plants may make a strong growth before hot, dry
weather comes on. Sow in trenches and cover about
three inches deep at first, filling more soil into the
trench as the plants grow, that roots may be deep in
moist soil during dry weather. Sweet Peas will cling
to all sorts of trellises—brush, wire, twine, old

VINCA.

TP*. (Madagascar Periwinkle.) For greenhouse or
window-culture the Vincas may be treated as tender
perennials; for garden culture as tender annuals.
Their flowers are very bright and pretty and freely
produced; foliage dark, shining green. The plants
withstand drouth well, and so are very popular for
bedding in situations where tree-roots absorb so
much moisture from the soil that few other plants
will grow there; but although they are bright and at-
tractive even when neglected, they are much handad-
somer when planted in favorable situations and well
cared for. Eighteen inches.
