TIME OF SOWING.

HARDY ANNUALS may be sown in March and April (and for early spring blooming
in August and September), in a sheltered situation, and when up, thinned so as to
keep them strong. In March they may be transplanted* where they are to bloom.
Before sowing, which should be done on a fine dry day, carefully prepare the soil, and
in covering, regulate the thickness by the size of the seeds — small seeds should bo very lightly
covered. Success in growing annui^ depends in a great measure upon their being properly
thinned to regular distances, so as to give plenty of room for the full development of each plant ;
this, in too many instances, is entirely neglected, hence the dissatisfaction so often expressed as
to their use.

HALF-HARDY ANNUALS may be sown in March and April, in pans, placed on a slight
hot-bed, and, when strong enough, pricked out into a cool frame near the glass, where they may
get hardened and well established for transplanting into their blooming quarters early in May,
or potted off singly for conservatory aud greenhouse decorations. Under' favourable circum-
stances many varieties will bloom freely if sown in the open ground about the middle of May.

TENDER ANNUALS such as Balsams, Celosias, Thuubergias, &c., require raising in a
temperature ranging from 60“ to 70“. Sow in pans or pots, aud place near the glass ; keep the
soil moist, and shade from the sun until the plants appear. When strong enough, pot off into
small pots, keeping them near the glass, and admitting air on every' favom-able occasion.

BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS. — Tlie more select and tender varieties for summer and
autumn blooming may be soivn in a gentle heat in March and Apiil, and pricked oilt into pots
until fully established, and then potted off singly,^or transplanted into the open ground, as
required. The hardier varieties may bo sown in the open ground, in prepared beds, in .Tune and
July, and when strong enough transplanted into nursery beds, or where they are intended to
bloom the following year.

In ordering Flower Seeds il will lie sufficient to quote the marginal numbers.

GLADIOLUS.

(HTBEIDS OF GANDAVENSIS.)

There are few flowers more showy and beautiful than the Gladiolus, and the varieties of the
Oandmemis section are perfectly hardy and easily grown, whilst their erect and stately growth, and
long spikes of flowers, developing themselves successively, never fail to win admirers.

To facilitate the cultivation of this highly decorative plant, a few remarks may he necessary to

some ; — . _ . . , j c

Tlie best and safest time for planting is from the beginning of April to the end of May, when a
continuous bloom may be assured from J uly to September.

Soil is not much a point for consideration, so long as it is not stiff and consolidated ; but it is
important that it should be deeply dug previous to planting.

Large bulbs .should be planted from 3 to 4 inches, and smaller bulbs 2 inches deep.

During excessively dry weather, copiou.s waterings are recommended.

When any bulb.s show signs of growth before the time mentioned above, thej' should bo potted
and kept in a cool frame until the proper season for planting out.

This beautiful tribe of plants should
be largely planted everywhere.

Orders are booked throughout
the year at the following prices,
and the bulbs supplied in Janu-
ary, February, or March.

The perfectly double flowers of Folx-

&c. ; indeed, are of the greatest value
wherever out flowers are required. By suo-
cessional plantings these lovely flowers may
be had all through the summer and autumn.
They should be potted in rich loamy soil and
started in a good bottom heat, being after-
wards grown on in a stove, with plenty of
moisture. If not required in flower until
September, the bulbs may be potted in April
or May, when all danger of frost is past, and
placed in a cold frame, standing them in the
open during the summer. As soon ns the
flower spikes are about a foot high, the plants
should be transferred to a gi’cenhouse or oven
a room, when their chaste and fragrant
flowers will be developed in a most satis-
factory manner.
