Almost every one can find leisure to put a few seeds into the ground, and afterwards to watch the young plant pushing through the earth; to observe the bright green stem waxing into strength and throwing out its tender foliage; to see the deli- cate and wonderful bud forming and swelling, which is to be the reward of all your assiduity. Any one who has done this for a season, will find the pursuit to possess a species of fascination, which will yield the purest enjoyment. When farther initiated, | | and become familiar with the beautiful mysteries, it is delightful to steal into the | garden, day after day, and trace the gradually expanding bud developing the un- known glory of a new variety. But the whole process of flower cultivation is so innocent, so congenial to health, and leads the mind so naturally to devout contempla- | tion, that we conceive it is unnecessary to urge anything further in its favor. Previous to forming a Flower Garden, the ground should be properly prepared, by being well broken and slightly manured. In the country it should be protected from cold winds by close fences or plantations of shrubs. Generally speaking, a | Flower Garden should not be upon a large scale. In small gardens, where there is not space for picturesque delineations, neatness should be the prevailing characteristic. A variety of forms may be indulged in, provided the figures are graceful and neat, and not complicated. An ovalis a form that generally pleases, on account of the con- | | tinuity of its outlines; next, if extensive, a circle; but hearts, diamonds, or triangles, ) seldom please. A simple parallelogram, divided into beds running lengthwise, or the | segment of an oval, with beds running parallel to its outer margin, will always please. | It is necessary to have suitable implements ready, so that the work may be per- | formed well, and at the proper season; such as a spade, rake, hoe, trowel, line and | pruning knife. Labels may be made readily of shingles, by splitting them in strips of about an inch wide and five or six inches long, and sharpening them at oneend. | Paint them with white lead, made thin, and mark them with a black lead pencil be- | fore the paint gets dry. Inscriptions written in this way, will be distinguishable as | long as the label lasts. : | In preparing the accompanying Catalogue, every care has been taken to make it as comprehensive as possible, without introducing NAmgEs for the mere purpose of ex- tending it; while, it is believed, nothing desirable that is suitable for cultivation in hE a EE Se ee THORBURN’S CATALOGUE OF FLOWER SEEDS. our climate has been omitted. Attention has also been paid to the correct classification of the duration and hardiness in the fourth column, which will enable the cultivator the better to profit by the following brief rules for the sowing and subsequent care of the different sorts. The description of the height and color, in the fifth and sizth columns, will also be found accurate and as comprehensive as the limited space of a Catalogue admits of. All kinds of Hardy Annual Flower Seeds, (hA in the fourth column, ) may be sown in the months of May and June; the beds should be levelled and the seeds sown either in small patches, each kind by itself, or in drills from an eighth to a half an inch deep. In about a month, more or less, many of them will be fit totransplant. Take advant- age of cloudy and rainy weather; move the plants carefully with a trowel, the smaller kinds set in front, the larger in the rear; but if the weather be dry and the sky cloud- less, give them a little water and cover them for a few days. Hardy Annuals will succeed well in a border of natural earth, if sown the first week in May, but they will flower a month earlier if assisted by glass. If some of the Hardy Annuals be sown in September, they will become strong enough to survive the Winter, if protected with a slight covering of straw or litter, and when transplanted in Spring will flower earlier and stronger. The best method to obtain an early bloom of the Tender Annuals (tA) and to en- sure strength to the plants, is to sow the seeds in pots early in March, placing them in a warm green-house window, or plunging them into a moderate hot-bed, carefully protecting them from the cold, shading them from the midday sun, and watering them with a finely pierced watering can. The seed should be sown in very light, sandy compost, and the pots well drained by placing broken earthenware and rough sods in the bottom; the finer seeds must not be planted more than an eighth of an inch deep, and the soil must be pressed down closely over them. Water frequently, particularly if the house or frame is very warm. As soonas the seed leaf is fully developed, trans- plant into small pots, three or four in each, and when they have acquired sufficient strength, transplant into the flower beds; not, however, before the middle of May. The Half Hardy Annuals (hhA) may be sown and transplanted as above, but must be kept rather cooler. The finer varieties of German Aster should be sown in pots to- wards the end of April, pricked off into smaller pots in June, and afterwards trans- planted into the flower borders. Biennials and Perennials may be sown at the same time with the Annual of the same degree of hardiness, and treated similarly, except such of the Hardy kinds as do not blossom the first year; these last may be thinned out or removed from the seed beds as soon as they are well rooted, and planted, either into different parts of the garden or into a nursery bed, in rows, a foot or more apart, keep them clear of weeds by hoe- ing and stirring the earth occasionally, which will greatly promote their growth, and prepare them for transplanting into the permanent beds, either in the Autumn or fol- lowing Spring. Avzennials are raised principally from seed sown every year. Some Perennials and Biennials may be sown in September, or as soon as ripe; and if the plants get strong before the setting in of Winter, most of them will flower the next Summer. In transplanting, take care to preserve some earth to their roots, and tie the tall-growing kinds to neat poles or rods. Remove decayed plants, and replace them with vigorous ones from the nursery bed. Keep all the beds free from weeds, and the walks clean and neat. Green-House varieties should be sown as directed for Tender Annuals, in pots, 4 THORBURN’S CATALOGUE OF FLOWER SEEDS. pits or boxes, be kept in the house, carefully watched, slightly watered occasionally, and sheltered from the hot sun, till strong enough to transplant; most of these varie- ties may be sown at any season of the year. The smaller Seeds of the Green-House Plants are sometimes difficult to germinate, unless great care is taken in the mode of sowing. Thence the supposition is produced that the seed itself is not good; whereas the fault is not in the seed, but in the treat- ment. Fine seeds of this description should be sown in leaf mould or peat earth, with some silver sand added to it, which should be pressed firmly down in the seed-pan or pot, and made perfectly level at the top, so that the mould may not afterwards sink materially with watering, and thereby carry down the seed with it to a greater depth than that at which it is sown. Sow the seed very thin, and cover, very slightly, with a little of the compost, or with some of the silver sand. By this method the difficulty of succeeding with fine seeds will be removed. Assoon as thé young plants have two leaves they should be transplanted into similar compost in another pot. To do this, do not pull them up out of the seed-pan, but lift them with the point of a knife under their roots. By that means the young minute roots are taken up without breaking. After transplanting, they should be kept in a shady part of the Green-House for a few days, until they are established in the new soil. There are many minute plants, from the finer seeds, killed by drenching them with water whilst very young. One way to avoid this, is to give the water by dipping a clothes brush in water, (shake off the greatest part of the water from the brush, ) and then holding the brush over the seed-pan, draw the hand over the bristles several times, which will cause the water to be thrown on the younger plants almost like dew. Whilst in the first stage of their existence, plants require moisture in a minute quan- tity, often repeated, and not in such large quantities as to saturate the soil in which they are growing. Seeds of Climbing and Twining Plants are frequently left too long without sup- port; the consequence of which is that the plants remain weak, and never afterwards become strong and healthy. Sweet Peas, Convolvulus, and all similar Seeds, should have their supports given them as soon as they are two inches high, in order that they may not become stunted in their early growth. To have a fine bloom, this is of con- siderable importance. To avoid failure, Flower Seeds should not be sown in the open borders too early ; never in this vicinity before May; more disappointment results from too early sowing than from any other cause. The following and some others being apt to droop and die if transplanted, should be sown in the borders, in the spot where they intend to bloom, viz. : Argemone, Lupins of sorts, Candytuft, Malope, Catchfly, Animated Oats, Dwarf Convolvulus, Poppies of sorts, Evening Primrose, Sweet Basil, Adonis Flower, Venus Looking Glass, Gypsophila, Sc., §c., but with these exceptions, most other varieties flower earlier and more Strongly by be- ing sown in frames or pots and transplanted; this applies particularly to the finer sorts of Paris Balsams, German Zinnias and Asters. Where, however, it is inconven- ient to adopt this latter mode, the following is recommended : THORBURN S CATALOGUE OF FLOWER SEEDS. Take a dollar package of twenty-five varieties, and number the bags from one to twenty-five; then sow a circle from each bag in the order in which they are num- bered, and insert a short stick in the centre of each circle as a mark. By this method ‘the twenty-five varieties are distributed along the borders in succession, and as each bag will be sufficient for three circles, sixty circles, or three assortments of twenty- five varieties, may be sown in three different aspects of the garden, which will not only give the various flowers the best possible chance with regard to exposure, but show the varieties to the greatest possible advantage. By preserving the bags, the mere novice by referring to the name and number on each, will become acquainted with the different varieties, from the order in which they stand in his garden. This system may be practised to advantage either on a large or small scale, and the young plants be allowed to mature and blossom in groups or bunches as they stand, or may be transplanted wholly or in part, as the taste of the cultivator may direct, or the less well filled neighboring border requires. Some species of Dwarf Annuals, such as Sweet Alyssum, Candytuft, Clarkia Pul- chella, Mignonette, Pimpernel, and such others as grow not over a foot in height, may be cultivated in small beds, either separate or two or three kinds mixed together. Clarkia Pulchella suits very well with Mignonette, as it will thrive in moderately poor soil, which is the best adapted for that plant when fragrance is an object. The best way to manage the mixed species, is to level a narrow border of rather poor soil, and sow it all over with Mignonette, then with Clarkia Pulchella; when the plants are up, both kinds should be thinned out equally, so as to leave the plants from one to two inches apart all over the bed; these, when they come into blossom, form a rich mass, and have a very pretty effect, the bushiness of the Mignonette hiding the naked stalks of the Clarkia. The White Alyssum and Purple Candytuftform a pleasing contrast when mixed in equal proportions, and also the Dwarf Gilia. Phlox Drummondi is, perhaps, the most desirable of all Annuals to flower alone in the beds, than which nothing can be more beautiful. ‘Every flower, though of the deepest carmine, has its petals of a pale blush color on the under side, and every petal, though of the palest pink, has a dark carmine spot at its base. Thus the variety of colors displayed in a bed of these flowers, almost exceeds description ; and when they are seen under a bright sun, and agitated by a gentle breeze, the effect is extraordina- rily brilliant.” Next to this, the Portulacas will be found, perhaps, most acceptable for individual beds or borders, either purple and scarlet separate, or combined with the newer white and yellow varieties. Rocket Larkspurs, too, sown in rows, answer admirably the same purpose; but to have them in perfection, the seed should be sown in the border in September, and the young plants protected through Winter by a slight covering of straw or litter. Cypress Vine, a universal favorite, frequently fails from being sown too early. In this vicinity it should not be trusted in the open ground much before the first of June, and the seed should be soaked for about half an hour, in moderately warm water, just before being sown. The seed should be planted about a quarter of an inch deep, and the soil well pressed down, moderately watered, and protected from the sun by a strip of board 4 or 5 inches wide; let the board remain pressing on the soil for about 48 hours, and on being removed the young plants will at once show themselves, and grow strongly. For the preceding remarks we are mainly indebted to the ‘‘ Young Gardener’s As- sistant,” by Thomas Bridgman, a work which, for practical utility, stands pre-eminent.
